Abstract:
The 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, which took place May 31-June 4 in Chicago, drew more than 32,000 oncology specialists from around the world. The theme of 2019 ASCO conference was “Caring for Every Patient, Learning from Every Patient”. Among the topics of interest covered were new approaches to surmount limited access to cancer care and the latest advances in targeted therapies for pancreatic, prostate cancers and soft tissue sarcomas. In the field of head and neck cancer, 8 oral abstracts and 75 poster abstracts were presented at this meeting. In this review, we are going to summarize the eight studies that have been presented orally. The topics are recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma for two abstracts (#6000, #6002), salivary duct carcinoma for one abstract (#6001), locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma for two abstracts (#6003, #6004), oropharyngeal carcinoma for two abstracts (#6006, #6008), and oral cavity cancer for one abstract (#6007).
