This accessible and authoritative text is fully revised and updated to reflect international practice across the multidisciplinary team. A global community of expert authors have provided chapters entailing the expertise required by today’s head and neck surgeon. The book encompasses fundamentals of head and neck oncologic practice including pathology, imaging, staging, prehabilitation, surgical approaches and reconstruction, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biological therapies and many more.
