โฆ Synopsis
The week of July 22, 1984, had major significance for head and neck oncology. The Society of Head and Neck Surgeons and the American Society for Head and Neck Surgery jointly hosted their First International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer in Baltimore, Maryland. This concourse convened an elite group of clinicians and basic scientists, a potpourri of educators and pupils, and a colorful arrangement of "doers and lookers," covering all specialties related to head and neck oncology.
