International Conference on Head and Neck Cancer BRIDGING THE GAP: Caring for the Head and Neck Cancer Patient July 21 - 25, 2012 Toronto, ON, Canada Presented by Metro Toronto Convention Centre (South Building) FINAL PROGRAM This is John, a Fanconi anemia (FA) patient who died in 2011 at age 38 of complications associated with the treatment of his head and neck cancer. Patients with FA are at a particularly high risk (hundreds- to thousands-fold) of developing specific solid tumors at unusually young ages, including head, neck, esophageal, and gynecological squamous cell carcinomas, as well as liver tumors.1 A strong believer in the promise of research, John’s dream was to help find a cure for all patients with Fanconi anemia. Please help us make his dream come true.
