Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of head and neck oncology is evolving very rapidly. The importance of achieving an uncomplicated cure has become very clear to all healthcare professionals in this area. Moreover, the continuously increasing incidence of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer in young and usually healthy patients has stimulated significant clinical research to de-intensify treatment in current clinical trials around the world. At the same time, there is an increase in life expectancy and patients presenting with curable disease in their seventies and eighties. New therapeutic approaches are needed to provide adequate therapy in the context of treatment-related side effects. This is another area of urgent research to achieve a better therapeutic ratio without increasing patients’ symptoms burden. In addition, the importance of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and QOL are essential components of all attempts to better understand the impact of treatment on patients and how we can improve their experience.
