Description:
The completely
revised and updated edition —with essential
information on improved treatments. Earlier editions of
this text have established it as an excellent
primer for radiotherapy of head and neck cancers. Now
this new volume brings this material fully up to date
with recent developments concerning treatment
techniques, use of modalities, and the management of
early and advanced tumors.
With fresh data published here for the first time, this
superb resource has
been extensively reworked to include:
*
; A
broad range of strategies for managing carcinomas of the
oral cavity, horopharynx,
hypopharynx, larynx, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses,
nasal cavity, salivary
glands, and eye.
*
; Greatly
expanded material on applied anatomy, treatment methods,
and technical pointers. *
; Detailed
site-specific treatment coverage—pathology,
staging, selection of modalities,
radiation techniques, current treatment data, and more.
*
; An
in-depth case study analysis, comparing conventional
radiation therapy to altered
fractionation radiation therapy. *
; A
separate chapter on dental care before, during, and
after radiation therapy. *
; New
illustrations throughout, plus over 100
photographsThis
text provides invaluable guidance on the management of
head and neck neoplasms
to radiation oncologists, head and neck surgeons, oral
surgeons, medical
oncologists, medical students, and residents.
