Epidemiology, staging and screening, as well as premalignancy, chemoprevention and the molecular biology of head and neck cancer, lay the groundwork for the understanding of the clinical chapters that follow. Controversial treatments will be compared to the standard management of patient care. Therapy chapters are divided into stage or category specific (resectable advanced, unresectable advanced or metastatic) problems, allowing the reader to review the current standards and options for patient types or specific patients easily. Considerations of supportive care, late toxicities and quality of life, often overlooked are reviewed in detail. This is a comprehensive summary of the current state of the art research and treatment. 410 0$aCancer treatment and research ;$vv. 114. 606 $aHead$xCancer 606 $aNeck$xCancer 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHead$xCancer. 615 0$aNeck$xCancer. 676 $a616.99/491 701 $aBrockstein$b Bruce$0847685 701 $aMasters$b Gregory$0847686 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449902003321 996 $aHead and neck cancer$91893346 997 $aUNINA
