Download or read book Head and Neck Cancer written by Jacques Bernier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This second edition ​provides a comprehensive view of consolidated and innovative concepts, in terms of both diagnosis and treatment. Written by leading international physicians and investigators, this book emphasizes the necessity of combining local and systemic treatments to achieve the objective of yielding higher cure rates and lower toxicities. Heavily updated from the previous edition, it highlights new surgery and radiotherapy techniques, disease awareness, patient quality of life, and comprehensive management. Head-and-neck cancers are a complex clinical entity and their response to treatment is also known to vary markedly in function of host-related factors. Notwithstanding the impressive progresses observed in the field of imaging, head and neck cancers are often diagnosed at a late stage and the presence of locally advanced disease in a significant number of patients implies the use of aggressive treatments in order to both ensure local disease control and reduce distant metastasis risks. In comparison with the first edition, Head and Neck Cancer, Second Edition provides a detailed update of innovative concepts in chemo- and bio-radiation, viral infection impact on tumor growth and response to treatment, and impact of tumor- and host-related factors on treatment outcome.

All anatomic areas in the head and neck are covered, and the impact of imaging on patient management is discussed in detail. The authors are recognized experts in the field, and numerous high-quality images are included. This second edition provides information on the latest imaging developments in this area, including the application of PET-CT and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

Download or read book Controversial Issues in the Management of Head and Neck Cancer A Swiss Multidisciplinary and Multi Institutional Patterns of Care Study written by Olgun Elicin and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heterogeneity in the practice of diagnosis and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is known and expected to be inversely correlated with the level of evidence on a given topic. Literature on various aspects of management of HNSCC were previously published, but were usually restricted within narrow foci. Due to the lack of a similar comprehensive work published so far, the Head and Neck Cancer Working Group of Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) decided to perform a survey covering the whole spectrum of controversial topics concerning the diagnosis and the treatment of HNSCC among its member institutions. This survey was designed to discuss current diagnostic and treatment strategies for HNSCC of all localizations, and to find out probable differences and level of consensus between the participating academic institutions by means of a questionnaire-based pattern of care study. The items in the survey was generated with a scored voting system by inclusion of all involved centers, and divided into four sections, each of them not exceeding twenty questions: head and neck surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology and biomarkers. Surely, the topics and questions were intentionally chosen from controversial areas. Nonetheless, the lack of major consensus in most queried areas provide an insight to head and neck oncologist in terms of the scope of heterogeneity in their practice. Although none of the participated centers being plainly wrong, it is still disturbing to see, that a patient may be treated with quite discrepant diagnostic and treatment concepts even in a relatively small country adhering to up to date evidence based medicine. We believe that this work will serve the head and neck oncologists to be aware of their discrepancies and to stimulate discussion toward standardization of practice and prioritize topics of future clinical research.
