| Cancer of the head and neck is a complex
disease, which, when understood, can often be treated very effectively-rendering
the patient disease-free while preserving or restoring both form and function. Offering the unique perspective of the three specialties involved in head and neck cancer-otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and general surgery-here is a comprehensive overview of the field today. ESSENTIALS OF HEAD AND NECK ONCOLOGY provides full coverage of oncologic evaluation, treatment and results, all distilled into a practical reference that fits into the lab coat pocket. This is the ideal textbook for BOARD EXAMINATION PREPARATION, or practitioners looking to update their knowledge in a particular area. |
