Opinion statement Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) incidence rates have been steadily increasing over the past several decades, and this has been largely attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV)-related OPSCC. The rise of HPV-related OPSCC and the observed distinct survival advantage it offers compared to HPV-unrelated OPSCC have resulted in the development of a new staging system specifically for OPSCC in the eighth edition of the AJCC Staging Manual for head and...

Opinion Statement Antibody-drug conjugates are an elegant approach to cancer treatment that couples the specificity of monoclonal antibodies to the cytotoxicity of classic chemotherapy agents, permitting, at least in theory, increased activity and reduced toxicity. In breast cancer, the early success of trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) in the HER2-positive metastatic setting led to great hopes, later dashed by results in the early setting (KRISTINE trial) and in combination with...
