There are different combination approaches being investigated for patients with head and neck cancer, Burtness explains. Immunotherapy has been integrated in to the standard approach to build on the existing responses, such as with chemoradiation or chemotherapy and cetuximab (Erbitux) for recurrent metastatic disease.
