The NCRI Head & Neck Group is a multi-disciplinary community of researchers and consumers focused on clinical and translational issues relating to head and neck cancer research. The group works closely with clinical research networks, funders and national and international researchers to develop research to improve outcomes for head and neck cancer patients and identify areas of unmet need.
The group routinely identifies priorities in head and neck cancer research and dynamic working groups are established to address each priority.
