Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Oral Cancer

Neoadjuvant and perioperative immunotherapy plays an ever-evolving role in the treatment of oral cancer. This 60-minute live webinar will break down the latest research surrounding perioperative immunotherapy, including key insights from the landmark KEYNOTE-689 study, and explain how these findings may influence treatment planning before and after surgery. Attendees will gain practical insight into how neoadjuvant immunotherapy may influence surgical planning, treatment sequencing and postoperative decision-making. The session will explore emerging concepts such as checkpoint and TGF-β targeting agents, perioperative pembrolizumab, cancer vaccines and response assessment as well as how to select the patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Describe the rationale and key clinical implications of perioperative immunotherapy in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, including findings from KEYNOTE-689.
Explain how neoadjuvant immunotherapy may influence surgical planning, pathologic response assessment, adjuvant therapy decisions and long-term outcomes.
Identify emerging neoadjuvant strategies in oral cancer, including immunoradiotherapy combinations, biomarker-driven treatment personalization and novel immune-based therapeutic platforms.

Cancellation Policy: Registrants will receive a full refund up until the day before the event. No refund will be given on the day of or after the event.
