Thank you to our patients and the outstanding effort by our very talented @WinshipAtEmory #HNCA team @NikkiSchmittMD @JamesBatesMD @soumon_rudra @StokedStokes @markmcdonaldmd @ConorSteuerMD @JillRemickMD @RamalingamMD @SagarLonialMD
A phase 2 clinical trial led by Winship researchers shows a combination of two drugs was well tolerated and benefitted 91% of participating patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. #hncsm winshipcancer.emory.edu/abou…

Excellent review in @JAMAOto of therapeutic vaccines in HNC features this sobering table.
For all the recent success with immunotherapy, most patients with R/M HNC:
1) do not respond to ICI,
2) will progress (or die) within 6m,
3) do not live beyond 12m.

(1/6) Here's an excellent lay summary of HPV-related cancers by @lindseybever in @washingtonpost.
However, the treatment section neglects the critical role of radiation therapy in early-stage disease.

(5/6) The myth that surgery offers the only curative treatment for cancer is pervasive in oncology and is a disservice to patients. The field of radiation oncology must do better to educate and advocate.

(6/6) One of my favorite parts of working at @WinshipAtEmory is our H&N Multidisciplinary Clinic, where patients learn about ALL treatment options during their first visit. This allows them to arrive at an informed decision appropriate for their cancer and situation.

What does the H&N Cancer Multidisciplinary Clinic @WinshipAtEmory have in common with James Bond, Batman, and the Avengers (besides helping those in need and saving lives, of course)?
It now has a rich, compelling origin story available for enjoyment:

The Adverse Effects of “We Got It All”
Amazing commentary in @JAMAOnc about well-intentioned language from surgeons compromising subsequent care.
Fortunately, in H&N MDC @WinshipAtEmory, I can counsel pts before surgery about potential adjuvant therapy.
