Overview

This work sets out to provide a practical approach to the management of patients with oral cancer. The contributors work in all the various disciplines involved in head and neck oncology and together they provide an interdisciplinary programme for patient care. The work sets out guidelines for the treatment of oral cavity and oropharyngeal tumours at all stages and sites. Emphasis is placed on the integrated use of the two main treatment modalities, surgery and radiotherapy. Functional anatomy, pathology and the principles and practicalities of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are discussed. Surgical reconstruction, the treatment of the cervical lymphatics, and the management of specific complications of treatment are also covered. In addition, there are chapters on the applications of laser treatment and functional rehabilitation of speech and swallowing after treatment.
