Manual of Head and Neck Surgical Oncology has been designed to provide trainee ENT Head & Neck surgeons and general surgeons with rapid access to the basic knowledge and principles required for management of the common tumors of the head and neck.
Introductory chapters on the principles of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and imaging are followed by chapters devoted to specific procedures such as neck dissection, maxillectomy and skull base surgery. The book also includes information on nutritional and speech & language considerations.
