About this section
The Oncology Section’s purpose is to enable all those investigating the aetiology, epidemiology and the treatment of all forms of cancer, to meet together regularly so that they may profit mutually from each other's knowledge and experience.
Head and neck cancer webinar series
This two-part webinar series will explore advances and current trends in the management of head and neck cancer. This meeting brings together an international faculty of specialists and will be of great interest to all professional groups involved in managing these complex patients.

Section meetings and conferences are usually organised by members of the Section Council, led by the Section President and often in collaboration with specialist societies.
