Written for residents and practitioners of otolaryngology, medical
oncology, radiation oncology, and maxiollofacial surgery, this book
provides the reader with a comprehensive, concise discussion of the
best evidence available on which to base clinical decisions needed
when managing patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the oral
cavity, pharynx and larynx. Because of its accessible and practical
format, this book is considerably different than other related
titles on the market. Formatted with questions at the beginning of
each chapter that are then answered with evidence and best
practices available for each case, each chapter addresses
situations the clinician is likely to face in the diagnostic
evaluation and treatment of a patient with cancer of the head and
neck. Most clinical decisions in the management of cancers of the
head and neck region are based on the results of a few controlled,
randomized clinical trial trials (Evidence Level I). However, most
decision-making is based on the results of case-control studies
(Evidence Level II), descriptive studies, reports of expert
committees, or opinions of respected authorities (Evidence Level
III). This information is scattered throughout the literature and
often comingled with information about other topics. Therefore,
there is a need for a publication in which the evidence pertinent
to making decisions regarding a particular clinical problem is
distilled from the literature and presented in a single concise,
clinical, situation-driven source. Cancer of the Oral Cavity,
Pharynx and Larynx: Evidence-Based Decision Making is just such a
resource.
