Synopsis

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) refer to a diverse, aggressive and genetically complicated group of malignancies. These cancers affect the salivary glands, hypopharynx, nasopharynx, larynx, oral cavity, oropharynx and paranasal sinuses. There are various symptoms of HNC, such as a sore that does not go away, and may include uncomfortable feeling in the throat or mouth, a change or hoarseness in voice quality, a lump in the neck and trouble in swallowing. The causes of HNC are linked to alcohol consumption and smoking. The consumption of tobacco results in exposure to a variety of carcinogens. The initial diagnosis of HNC is essential in establishing a patient's final prognosis because of the limited therapeutic choices for recurring and advanced malignancies. The management of HNCs is difficult and requires a multidisciplinary approach. It can be treated with systemic therapy, surgery and radiotherapy. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of head and neck oncology. Those with an interest in this medical field would find it helpful.
