Kathryn A. Gold, MD, medical oncologist, associate professor of medicine, UC San Diego Heath, discusses the current state of human papilloma virus (HPV)-related head and neck cancer.

This is due to the rise in the HPV-related head and neck cancer. These patients tend to have a better prognosis than those with tobacco- or alcohol-related head and neck cancer.
