Download or read book Head and Neck Critical Illness written by Hiroyuki Tomita and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are various malignant tumors in the head and neck area, including oral cavity, pharynx, sinonasal cavity, and salivary glands. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer among head and neck cancers. In salivary glands, there are many types of malignancies that can develop, such as malignant lymphoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and mesenchymal tumors. In a clinical setting, imaging, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is very important in terms of the prediction of the histological type and the evaluation of the extent of invasion of adjacent structures. In basic research, there are few animal models in head and neck malignancies. In this Special Issue, we broadly discuss the basic and clinical research in head and neck malignancies.

Download or read book Management of Oral Cancers written by Sudhir Bahadur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tumor biology varies at different subsites in the oral cavity, and therefore carcinoma of the gingivo-buccal sulcus (also known as Indian cancer) behaves differently from carcinoma of the tongue. Oral cancer is very often diagnosed at an advanced stage with neck metastasis, and most cases have a guarded prognosis. Loco-regional recurrences are frequent and morbidity following treatment is considerable. However, results have improved in recent years, particularly in early and certain advanced stages, due to better imaging and case selection, improved surgical techniques, including those for reconstructive surgery, a multidisciplinary team approach and a better understanding of tumor biology and prognostic factors. This book comprehensively and systematically reviews all these aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic advances in oral cancer, particularly discussing early detection, epidemiology, chemoprevention and current research. Written by specialists who are active leaders in basic sciences or clinical fields, the chapters address individual and collective issues in managing patients with oral cancer, and provide insights into various treatment approaches. The authors share their knowledge and experience and provide extensive literature sources to encourage clinicians to be flexible, innovative and help them make the best, educated decisions for individual patients.

Its treatment is challenging and is governed by numerous factors, especially tumour biology, patient demographic and availability of efficient treatment regimes. The prognosis of head and neck cancer is dismal despite multimodality treatment. This is largely due to late presentation of the disease, as well as poor compliance to treatment and suboptimal treatment approaches. The prognosis and survival rate of head and neck cancer patients can be enhanced with a thorough understanding of the disease, effective communication between in charge clinician, collaborative effort of multiple expertise involving in the management of case, and a refined treatment plan and implementation. Of note, early screening and effective preventive measures will lessen the head and neck tumour burden worldwide. The identification of critical risk factors such as the oncogenic viruses (HPV, EBV), environmental and chemical carcinogen, and dietary factor allow identification of at-risk population, hence early intervention can be instituted. Many of head and neck cancer involves with critical function of human life such as swallowing, breathing, speech, olfaction, hearing and vision. Thus, surgical treatment of this tumour can result in significant sequalae that can impair patients’ quality of life. Imperatively postoperative chemoradiation can further exacerbate the complications with resultant fibrosis, polyneuropathy, fatigue, and many more. Escalation of therapeutic approaches and multiteam management is crucial for the betterment of head and neck cancer patients’ care.
