Hayes Martin Lecture. Do things really change?
The author presents the historical backdrop of the advent of the American Society of Head and Neck Surgery and the Society of Head and Neck Surgeons and their paths that began wide apart and which, over the years, have become closer, even intertwining with the formation of the Joint Council for Approval of Advanced Training in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery in 1974. The future of head and neck oncology and the role the two societies can play are also commented on.
