Ezra Cohen, MD, associate director, Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego, discusses challenges with immunotherapy in head and neck cancer.
It is difficult with a disease like head and neck cancer that has both a viral etiology and a tobacco-related etiology, says Cohen. There is not much different between response rates with the anti—PD-1s or the anti–PD-L1 agents for those 2 entities.
Additionally, Cohen says, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is a rapidly progressing disease, and immunotherapy takes time to work—time that patients may not have.
