Following the footsteps of the 1st International Conference on Innovative Approaches in Head and Neck Oncology, this second edition will continue the ambitious path towards multidiscipliarity and innovation.

Substantial developments have been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis of Head and Neck malignancies, which could rapidly lead to the elaboration of tailored treatments. Functional imaging has emerged as a complementary modality to anatomic imaging methods for better staging, treatment response evaluation and optimal treatment targeting. Surgery has markedly improved, in particular with better reconstruction techniques moving further the limit of operability. Randomized studies have demonstrated the increasing role of combined modality approaches with chemotherapy and biological targeted therapies. New radiation techniques, expected to impact on survival and quality of life of Head & Neck patients, have taken off the ground and are being validated.
