This second edition provides a comprehensive view of consolidated
and innovative concepts, in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.
Written by leading international physicians and investigators, this
book emphasizes the necessity of combining local and systemic
treatments to achieve the objective of yielding higher cure rates
and lower toxicities. Heavily updated from the previous edition, it
highlights new surgery and radiotherapy techniques, disease
awareness, patient quality of life, and comprehensive management.
Head-and-neck cancers are a complex clinical entity and their
response to treatment is also known to vary markedly in function of
host-related factors. Notwithstanding the impressive progresses
observed in the field of imaging, head and neck cancers are often
diagnosed at a late stage and the presence of locally advanced
disease in a significant number of patients implies the use of
aggressive treatments in order to both ensure local disease control
and reduce distant metastasis risks. In comparison with the first
edition, Head and Neck Cancer, Second Edition provides a detailed
update of innovative concepts in chemo- and bio-radiation, viral
infection impact on tumor growth and response to treatment, and
impact of tumor- and host-related factors on treatment outcome.
