  • Overview

    In this series, Drs. Nabil Saba and Barbara Burtness review best practices for the use of immune checkpoint therapies in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. They discuss optimizing first-line immunotherapeutic regimens, using biomarkers to determine response to immunotherapy, managing immune-related adverse events, and overcoming barriers to equitable care.

  • Provider(s)/Educational Partner(s)

    It’s about time! Today’s on-the-go learners have minutes to spend on education instead of hours. Total CME, LLC, is an award-winning, global healthcare education company that strategically pioneers methodology, initiatives, and platforms to meet these time-limited needs. Unlike other medical education companies, Total CME employs a microlearning approach and platform to create outcome-based curricula that motivates HCPs to engage in self-directed point-of-care learning that impacts change in real time. Even while reaching the largest global distribution, we provide the most personalized, seamless learner experience. We’re meeting our busy learners where they are so they can focus on what they want when they need it, ultimately leading to behavior changes that impact clinical practice and empower patients in their own care.
