Scientific Meetings and Other Events
There is no doubt that scientific meetings are one of the most important activities organised by the ANZHNCS. These meetings are valuable opportunities to stay up to date with the latest learning from both local and international experience. They can also be a source of inspiration and help re-energise our efforts in preventing and treating head and neck cancers.
ANZHNCS ASM 2027
Dates: August 2027 (dates to be confirmed)
Venue: Perth, Western Australia (venue to be confirmed)
Convenor: Professor Camile Farah
Theme: Innovation, Precision, and Impact: Advancing Head and Neck Cancer Care
The field of head and neck oncology is increasingly focused on tailoring treatment to individual patients based on their tumour characteristics, genetic makeup, and other factors. Head and neck cancer treatment is seeing rapid advancements in areas like immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and new surgical techniques. Our ultimate goal is to improve patient survival rates and quality of life. Our theme highlights the importance of precision in diagnosis and treatment planning, the need for ongoing innovation in the field, and the progress being made towards these goals.
The Perth ASM promises to bring together leaders in head and neck oncology in the beautiful surrounds of Western Australia and all it has to offer.
The preliminary program will explore:
- Discussions on the latest advancements in surgical techniques, such as robotic surgery and minimally invasive approaches.
- Presentations on the use of advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, including AI-powered image analysis.
- Insights into the use of immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and new drug development in head and neck cancer.
- Case studies and best practices in multidisciplinary care.
- Global perspectives on the challenges and successes in head and neck cancer treatment.
- Workshops on advanced diagnostic methods, early detection, and imaging.
- Discussions on patient experiences, access to care, and the impact of treatment on quality of life.
We are excited to bring the meeting back to Perth and look forward to hosting you. Plan ahead and take the time to create an unforgettable holiday in WA.
