It is designed to enable both students and practitioners to attain a final diagnosis and initiate the appropriate treatments.
This new work on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy is edited by two dentists who have made pioneering contributions in this previously neglected area. Their efforts have established the invaluable role of the dentist in oncologic research and cancer patient management. The editors have collected nine chapters that will be of interest to dentists and dental hygienists, oncology nurses, and all physicians treating cancer patients with chemo therapeutic agents. Background chapters on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy, the pharmacology of chemotherapeutic agents, and principles of infection management and prevention set the stage for more specific chapters focusing on prevention and treatment of chemotherapy induced oral and dental disorders. Valuable contributions to the supportive care of the cancer patient are contained in this book. A full comprehension of this book, coupled with an appreciation for advances in other areas of supportive care, such as antiemetic therapy and pain control, will allow all those involved in cancer treatment to be more successful.

This book reviews and discusses some of these approaches, and some of the controversies aroused by them in the hope that the dental profession will soon arrive at more effective, scientifically based treatments. Health professionals have dealt with temporomandibular disorders, a major cause of non-dental pain in the orofacial region, by developing a broad range of treatments, ranging from occlusal alteration to multidisciplinary care regimens. It is with this background that health practitioners have responded to their patients' needs by developing a broad range of treatments, often determined more by the specialty of the practitioner than by scientifically-based treatment. There are practitioners claiming successful outcomes from a diverse number of treatments ranging from education and behavioral counseling, use of medications, occlusal therapies, surgery and splints, to a combination of various treatments.
