Resection and Reconstruction of Head & Neck Cancers
This work presents a clear approach for the reconstruction of head and neck cancer excision defects. Starting with a brief historical account of head and neck reconstruction, the principles of resection and reconstruction of head and neck cancer, the book then provides a detailed overview of head and neck reconstruction based on head and neck subsites; various reconstruction techniques; best approaches; and the challenges faced in reconstruction and how to overcome them. Lastly, it discusses future directions in head and neck reconstruction.
Patient Surveillance After Cancer Treatment
Patient Surveillance After Cancer Treatment covers the history of cancer patient surveillance after curative-intent treatment, the rationale, the methodologies used in the past and at present, the methodologies that will probably emerge in the future, the costs of surveillance, the definitions of various terms used in the field, and how those who are interested in the topic can get more information about it from the internet. The secondary focus of the book is to publicize the need for well-designed, adequately powered randomized clinical trials comparing two (or more) surveillance strategies for each type of cancer. The audience includes all oncologists, cancer researchers, medical economis...
HPV and Head and Neck Cancers
This book serves a snapshot of the current knowledge base in field. As human papillomavirus (HPV) causes a rising number of oropharyngeal cancers, understanding the biological, clinical and social implications of this infection has become increasingly important for head and neck practitioners. This book reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the scientific and clinical questions involved in this disease. Experts in epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer present in-depth reviews which will help to improve the reader’s understanding of this topic. The authors provide insight for answers of common patient and provider questions about HPV infection and related disease, and highlight remaining questions to be answered in the coming years.
Tumours of the skull base and paranasal sinuses
Recent developments in our understanding of the complex anatomy of the cranial base and the biological behaviour of tumours in this area have brought with them a significant improvement in the outcome of patients with skull base tumours. To provide clinicians from different disciplines a doorway to this field, the contributors present a systemic introduction and summary of contemporary knowledge in skull base surgery, without requiring prior information in the field. The book has three major parts: (i) clinical, pathological and radiological management of patients, (ii) open and endoscopic surgical approaches to the skull base, and (iii) outcome, morbidity and postoperative follow-up of patients. Tumours of the skull base and paranasal sinuses is meant to be accessible to medical students, residents and attendings in various disciplines including: otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery and oncology. Throughout, the emphasis is on the clinical approach to the patient rather than on surgical techniques per se.
Clinical approach to well-differentiated thyroid cancers
The management of patients with thyroid cancers is a constantly changing field due to numerous developments in diagnostics and therapy. This book provides clinicians with up-to-date information on the current management of patients through all stages of their thyroid disease: from diagnosis of thyroid nodules through staging, extent and technique of surgery to adjuvant therapies, and follow-up schemes.

Non-melanoma Skin Cancer of the Head and Neck
Non-melanoma skin cancer is a global public health issue. With an ever-increasing, and ageing, world population coupled with increasing numbers of immunosuppressed individuals the number of patients continues to rise. The head and neck is overwhelmingly the most frequent location for the development of a non-melanoma skin cancer and as such challenges the clinician with its complex anatomy. The importance of maintaining the aesthetics of the face and the function of the anatomy cannot be overstated, yet ultimately it is always the aim of curing a patient with the minimum of morbidity that clinicians strive for. However, the spectrum of presentations and subsequent management varies widely, ranging from patients with the ubiquitous low-risk mid-face basal cell carcinoma to those diagnosed with relatively uncommon but potentially life-threatening high-risk squamous cell carcinomas (e.g. involving metastatic lymph nodes or with perineural invasion present) and Merkel cell carcinomas.
