The Multidisciplinary Transoral Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer course is designed to give otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, oral maxillofacial surgeons, pathologists, and speech pathologists, a focused educational experience in transoral endoscopic techniques for resecting primary head and neck tumors and the associated state-of-the-art application of advanced radiotherapy techniques including proton beam therapy, and systemic therapy such as immunotherapy. Both transoral laser and robotic surgery will be featured as well as flexible laser surgery in inpatient and outpatient environments.

An optional cadaveric hands-on workshop will provide participants with opportunities to perform various transoral procedures with laser technologies and delivery systems.
