Imaging the Future: A Conversation with Dr. Moy

Our host, Dr. Celina Nahyun Jo, explores how identifying middle neck lymph node involvement can reshape clinical decision-making for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Joined by Dr. Heejun Kang, they break down how this imaging finding could refine risk groups and potentially shift treatment intensity for certain patients.
