She completed her medical school and residency training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. Subsequently, she completed a comprehensive fellowship in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology and Reconstruction at the University of Toronto. During her training, she received recognition for her clinical and research activities, including the Albert Einstein College of Medicine\/Montefiore Medical Center Outstanding House Officer Award. She is committed to institutional and specialty service, with the goal of improving the quality of patient care delivered to head and neck cancer patients. Her clinical practice includes a broad range of head and neck oncologic issues, including ablative and reconstructive procedures, transoral laser surgery, thyroid and parathyroid disease, and salivary cancers.   Dr. McMullen\u2019s goal in conducting research is to improve the prognostication and treatment strategies for head and neck cancers to better balance oncologic outcomes and quality of life. Dr. McMullen\u2019s research interests include the use of new technologies in head and neck surgery; examining prognostic factors in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients including co-morbidities and treatment factors; and the treatment of advanced thyroid cancers and subsequent therapy-related outcomes.","photo_link":"Caitlin McMullen.jpeg (https:\/\/dl.airtable.com\/.attachments\/7f72c0c2d89357ab5e73f06d802ea188\/482b7778\/CaitlinMcMullen.jpeg)","sessions_ids_listed":"91,94","session_names":"Utilization of Genetic Markers in Thyroid Cancer Treatment , Panel: Head & Neck Case Presentations","status":"Active","linkedin_url":"","sessions":[{"ID":23288,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2021-11-04 19:04:07","post_date_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:04:07","post_content":"Genetic testing and resultant molecular markers are commonly obtained using commercially available tools to risk stratify and guide treatment for indeterminate thyroid nodules. Most otolaryngologists are increasingly familiar with the role of these tests in this scenario. Beyond their use in the initial surgical strategy, the results of these tests may provide additional useful information that may contribute to clinical care. Molecular markers obtained by either these tests or from the resultant surgical specimen may help counsel patients and guide treatment in advanced cases once the diagnosis of malignancy is confirmed. \n\nIn recent years, important progress has been made in understanding the potential role of these molecular markers in prognostication and clinical care for thyroid cancers. However, their applicability in treatment decision-making is still limited. In advanced cases, particularly for unresectable or advanced radioiodine refractory disease, novel systemic targeted treatments are available and may be utilized for tumors with appropriate molecular markers. This aspect of thyroid cancer care is continuously evolving and future directions are promising. The aims of this brief course are to review the role of genetic markers prior to definitive treatment of thyroid cancer patients, discuss available targeted agents and the role of these systemic treatments in clinical care.","post_title":"Utilization of Genetic Markers in Thyroid Cancer Treatment","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ent91","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-11-04 19:04:11","post_modified_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:04:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/fcomnow.com\/session\/utlization-of-genetic-markers-in-thyroid-cancer-treatment\/","menu_order":91,"post_type":"session","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":23291,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2021-11-04 19:04:07","post_date_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:04:07","post_content":"This panel will be conducted as a 'tumor board' with submitted  head and neck cancer cases.","post_title":"Panel: Head & Neck Case Presentations","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ent94","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-11-04 19:04:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-11-04 23:04:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/fcomnow.com\/session\/panel-case-presentations\/","menu_order":94,"post_type":"session","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"attending":"In-Person","in_person":"checked"},"day":null,"duration":null,"end_date":null,"end_time":null,"session_code":null,"session_description":null,"session_id":null,"session_name":null,"session_objectives":null,"session_type":null,"session_type_detail":null,"society":null,"start_date":null,"start_time":null,"test_speaker_link":null,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
