Human papillomavirus (HPV) is now a leading cause of oropharyngeal cancers, with increasing incidence in Aotearoa New Zealand—particularly among younger people and those without traditional risk factors.
Timed to coincide with World Head and Neck Cancer Day at the end of July, this webinar will explore the link between HPV and head and neck cancer, including key risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic pathways, and important prevention strategies.
Dr Dean Ruske is a New Zealand-trained Otolaryngologist and Head & Neck Surgeon, and is the Clinical Lead of the Dunedin Head and Neck MDT.
Dr Samantha Murton is a Wellington-based GP and Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago. Sam is recent past President of the RNZCGP and chairs the Council of Medical Colleges.
