Wiley-Blackwell Wittes ∗head∗ And Neck Cancer: Vol 2 (Wiley Series on Cancer Investigation and Management)

Tumours of the head and neck are amongst the most difficult to diagnose and manage. Particularly important in this group are tumours affecting the brain. This book discusses the recent rapid advances in diagnosis which have occurred as a result of new imaging modalities. Surgical, radiological and chemo-therapeutic treatments are still the mainstay of management but novel methods of treatment are being introduced, such as hyperthermia for certain facial and oral tumours and the targeting of cytotoxic drugs by the use of monoclonal antibodies in, for example, lymphomatous tumours of the neck and oesophagus.
