This week the Head and Neck series turns to radiation oncology, with guest Dr. David Palma, a Professor and Radiation Oncologist at the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre and professor at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, Western University (London, Ontario). A clinician-scientist who splits his time between clinical-trials research and treating head and neck and lung cancers, David walks us through how radiation actually works and gets planned, the de-escalation question, PET after treatment, larynx preservation, re-irradiation, oligometastatic disease, and the proton-versus-photon debate - all with some of the best analogies we've had on the show.
