This book is a practical guide to the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.
Divided into 36 sections, the text begins with an overview of the surgical anatomy of oral cavities, epidemiology, prevention, pathology, and staging of oral cancer, then imaging techniques.
The following chapters examine the management of numerous different forms of oral cancer, concluding with a case presentation and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.
