Head and Neck Cancer is the first, truly multi-disciplinary book in this field. The focus is the 2-part approach that any physician treating these patients must follow: maximize the chance for a cure while maintaining a strong emphasis on quality of life. Although the overall incidence of head and neck cancer is not as great as breast or lung, it is a very devastating form of cancer which has tremendous implications not only on the overall health of the patient, but on his or her appearance and quality of life.
The book is a comprehensive textbook that crossed all disciplines and represented a wide spectrum of specialists throughout the country, including surgical, radiation and medical oncologists, as well as dentists, pathologists, radiologists and nurses. The contributor list represents the highest level of multi-disciplinary talent in head and neck oncology in the country
