The 2026 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancers Symposium is a two-and-a-half-day event scheduled for February 19-21, 2026. Organized by ASTRO (American Society for Radiation Oncology) and co-sponsored by other key medical societies, the symposium will be held both in-person in Palm Desert, California, and as a live virtual meeting online.
The central theme for the 2026 meeting is “Advancing Patient-Centered Care Through Innovative Team Science.” The conference aims to foster meaningful collaboration among radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists to share the most current, evidence-based practices in the field.
The program is structured to deliver practical insights through educational sessions, interactive case discussions, and oral abstract presentations. It serves as a forum for presenting and discussing new data, with the Call for Abstracts remaining open until October 8, 2025. The core objective of the symposium is to improve patient outcomes by advancing multidisciplinary treatment approaches and team-based care for head and neck cancers. Registration and housing are currently open for attendees.
