Dr. Bauml on the Unmet Need in Head and Neck Cancer

Joshua Bauml, MD, assistant professor, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, discusses an unmet need for patients with head and neck cancer.

Because HPV-associated head and neck cancer is more common, the concept of survivorship needs to be developed, explains Bauml. Since patients with HPV-associated head and neck cancer tend to be younger, healthier patients, they receive more toxic regimens and need to be better supported, states Bauml.
