This book collects contributions from experts to provide an insight into the latest research on head, neck and oral cancers, including overviews, pathophysiology, diagnostics, treatment approaches and prognosis. In the first part of the book, head and neck cancers are discussed through topics including an overview of hypopharyngeal cancer, molecular genetics and biology, new standards in advanced radiation therapy, and methods for evaluating quality of life. In the second part, the clinical application and recent advances in neck dissections are presented. Topics include the history of the procedure, overviews of surgical techniques and clinical principles, possibly complications, new advances in minimally invasive surgery and modified radical neck dissection. In the third part, oral cancer is examined from a range of perspectives. Issues include an overview of the disease, a review of literature relating to risk factors for oral cancer, early detection of pre-cancerous lesions, environmental factors in aetiology, diagnostic aids and implications and microsurgical reconstruction of the oral cavity. This book will be an essential resource for physicians and surgeons specialising in head and neck oncology, as well as for students in medicine and dentistry with similar interests.
