General

Monday afternoon, September 16, the Department of ENT Head-Neck Surgery, in cooperation with patient association HOOFD-HALS, is organizing a themed meeting devoted to HPV (human papilloma virus). Many people know that smoking and drinking alcohol can play a role in the development of head and neck cancer. But what many people do not know is that HPV can also cause head and neck cancer. This afternoon explains the relationship between HPV and head and neck cancer. Does vaccination make sense? Even at a later age? What are the options for treatment?

Both health care providers and patients will tell their stories. During the break there will be an opportunity for an informal exchange of views.

Digital attendance is possible.

The program, intended precisely for (former) patients and loved ones, the interested layperson and caregivers is as follows:
