Summary:

The past two decades have seen great progress in the study and treatment of head and neck cancer: increased knowledge of genetic and epidemiological factors, refinement of the tools of diagnosis, greater understanding of clinico-pathological correlation, and recent advances in rehabilitation and reconstruction have all greatly benefited patients, while a fundamental change in attitude and philosophy of patient management has also led to greater emphasis on quality of life issues. A broad, comprehensive and balanced account of the current scientific knowledge about head and neck tumours and their management from a established group of multidisciplinary international experts in this field, this book will not only be of value to trainee head and neck surgeons and oncologists but will also provide a useful source of knowledge and reference for all established specialists entrusted with the care of patients with head and neck cancer. Illustrated with over 500 figures, including over 450 in colour.
