Cervical paraganglioma: from diagnosis to management
09-09, 16:30–17:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Head & Neck Oncology 3

<p>The cervical paraganglioma is a rare condition; however, in Trentino, a unique demographic and geographic context has turned this rare disease into an endemic one. We have treated 104 cervical paragangliomas, including 16 bilateral cases and 5 malignant ones, making our single-center experience unique compared to what is reported in the current literature. Furthermore, the availability of proton beam radiotherapy in our region allows for a comprehensive approach to the treatment of this disease.</p>
<p>The audience will be provided with a comprehensive overview of the management of cervical paragangliomas, based both on our our experience and on the current literature. Debated aspects as well as those supported by stronger scientific evidence will be highlighted. Furthermore, particular attention will be given to surgical techniques and potential complications.</p> <p>With this course, we believe we can offer a valuable tool for the management of a rare disease</p>
