Description
Book SynopsisThe prevalence of Oral and Oropharyngeal Cancer continues to rise worldwide, related to the increase in consumption of tobacco, alcohol and other carcinogenic products. However, there has also been a significant reduction in mortality due to increasing awareness, early diagnosis and advances in treatments. This second edition of a bestseller reviews every aspect of the diagnosis and treatment of the orofacial cancer patient. As with the first edition, the book is organized in three parts, covering Pathology and Biology, Clinical Management, and Outcomes and Follow-up.
Trade ReviewThe production is of an excellent quality. The book contains many clinical, surgical, and histopathological coloured figures, graphs, tables which enhance the information and readability of each chapter. This book remains timely and appropriate for all clinicians, surgical and non-surgical, clearly documenting the state of the art of modern-day diagnosis, treatment and management of patients who present with an oral and/or oropharyngeal cancer. This volume should be available for referencing in all cancer centres, which undertake treatment of patients presenting with head and neck cancer.
