• Seventh most common malignancy
o 35% > 65 years
o 15% > 75 years
• Risk factors
o Alcohol & tobacco(oral cavity, larynx and pharynx)
o Human Papillomavirus (HPV+) (oropharynx)
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
• Standard of care
• Data in elderly
• 80-90 % cure rate in early stage (stage I/II)
o Surgery
oRadiation
• 50% cure rate in locally advanced stage (stage III/IV) with multimodal treatment
o Surgery followed by chemo(radiation)
oChemoradiation
• Recurrent/metastatic SCCHN (median survival: 10-15 months)
oCisplatin + 5FU + Cetuximab
oAnti-PD1 compounds: pembrolizumab or nivolumab
