Cancer of the head and neck is a complex disease, which, when understood, can often be treated very effectively - rendering the patient disease-free while preserving or restoring both form and function.

Offering the unique perspective of the three specialties involved in head and neck cancer -otolaryngology, plastic surgery, and general surgery - here is a comprehensive overview of the field today. ESSENTIALS OF HEAD AND NECK ONCOLOGY provides full coverage of oncologic evaluation, treatment and results, all distilled into a practical reference that fits into the lab coat pocket.

This is the ideal textbook for board examination preparation, or practitioners looking to update their knowledge in a particular area.
