115. ASCO 2024 - Head and Neck Cancer

Our coverage of ASCO 2024 has rounded the final bend, and the finish line is in sight. Today, Josh and Michael examine four studies in the head and neck cancer space. Today's studies include a novel, viral-driven vector that aims to increase the immune response to treatment, potential treatment for the very rare nasal squamous cell cancer, data supporting the treatment of patients with poor prognosis and head and neck patients, and a new, intensive immunotherapy treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer. A wide variety of studies that are sure to satisfy a broad range of palates!
