The congress is a collaboration between the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), the European Head and Neck Society (EHNS) and the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), bringing our disciplines together to showcase the latest technical advances, impactful research findings and novel innovations in head and neck oncology. We have worked hard to create a programme that brings clinical and academic researchers together, centered on the person, with an individualised approach to treatment. We welcome every member of the multidisciplinary team to attend, including oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, dieticians, speech and language therapists, nurses, restorative dentists, scientists, and others who are interested in an approach to head and neck cancer that is driven by biology and centered on the person.
