Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer in the Elderly: Decision-making and Determinants of Outcome

Improvements in cancer treatments have significantly extended the survival rate of patients in the last few years. However, this has also caused patients to experience adverse effects for an extended period. Particularly in head and neck cancer, patients experience mucositis, swallowing dysfunction, neck disability, fibrosis, dental decay, and a change in physical appearance as a side effect of the treatment. While these complications affect patients' quality of life, including the elderly, they pose massive challenges to physicians in making prompt treatment decisions to achieve better patient outcomes.

As part of the Global ONCOnversations 2023, we bring you an exclusive webinar on the management of head and neck cancers in the elderly by the reputed head and neck oncosurgeon, Dr. Narayana Subramaniam, on 3rd February 2023, 3:00 PM IST onwards.
