Head and Neck Cancer, a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach
to treatment. A significant increase in the incidence of
oropharyngeal cancer in the U.S. and other countries, especially
among men, is attributed to high-risk subtypes of the human
papillomavirus (HPV). HPV associated tonsillar cancer and base of
tongue cancer account for 90% of all oropharyngeal squamous cell
carcinoma. Internationally renowned authors share the latest
knowledge on HPV and other causes of head and neck cancers, from
diagnosis to cutting-edge treatments.Thirty richly illustrated
chapters feature open and endoscopic ablative techniques for
treating a full spectrum of carcinomas and associated defects of
the buccal, mandible and composite, laryngeal, hypopharyngeal, and
parotid. The book encompasses the nuances of each pathology,
step-by-step procedural guidance, clinical pearls, and the latest
reconstructive techniques such as 3-D. For each disease, the
authors discuss management concepts followed by principles of
reconstruction and functional rehabilitation. Special topics
include patient surveillance, monoclonal antibodies and
immunotherapy, microvascular reconstruction, and minimizing wound
complications.Key FeaturesState-of-the-art management of carcinomas
