Download or read book Advances in Transoral Approaches for Laryngeal Cancer written by Cesare Piazza and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era of increasing availability of highly technological tools that allow for reducing, where possible, the invasiveness of the surgical procedures needed to remove cancer. Also in the head and neck area, transoral procedures increasingly replace the traditional, more invasive, open access procedures. Crucial developments promoting this evolution were the popularization of transoral laser microsurgery and, more recently, transoral robotic approaches. It is logical to expect that these approaches will entail better function for the patients, and thus better quality of life, provided that the obtained oncological radicality is the same or better than that obtained with the more invasive procedures of the past. All these “logical” assumptions still need confirmation and validation on large and independent series, however. This eBook collects the results of some of the most recent research efforts in this field. It contains studies aimed at advancing surgical technology and oncological philosophy, as well as studies assessing the oncological as well as the functional outcome following the application of these techniques. In this way this e-book aims at critically assessing and, where justified, boosting the development and popularization of these transoral approaches. The overall aim is evidently to improve both the oncological as well as the functional outcomes for the patient with laryngeal cancer.

Download or read book Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery TAMIS and Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision taTME written by Sam Atallah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This book captures cornerstone developments in a new body of knowledge and provides an expert resource on a “hot topic” in rectal surgery. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) was designed for local excision of select rectal neoplasms, however soon it became realized that the TAMIS technique could be used for applications beyond local excision, most notably for transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME). This new operative technique has revolutionized our approach to the distal rectum by allowing for improved access, especially in obese male patients with an android pelvis, and by minimizing abdominal wall access trauma. The endpoints of improved oncologic resection, as defined by mesorectal envelope completeness, negative circumferential resection margins, and negative distal margin, are assessed. This book details controversies, pitfalls, and future directions of taTME and TAMIS. Chapters are authored by those on the forefront of innovation with TAMIS and taTME, and each is considered an authority on the topic. Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) and Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (taTME) is a must-have reference for surgeons who are performing this operation and fellows in training who want to completely understand the various nuances of TAMIS and taTME.

Download or read book Oral Cancer written by Peter Thomson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a concise, informed and practical manual detailing the cause, prevention and interventional treatment of oral cancer – the deadliest of oral diseases. In the 21st century, oral cancer remains a lethal and deforming disease exhibiting rising incidence of epidemic proportions, particularly in younger patients, and is of global significance with over 300,000 new cases presenting each year. Despite advances in diagnosis and management, half of all patients die within five years. Even following successful initial treatment, long-term prognosis is compromised by the presentation of advanced tumours and development of widespread, multi-focal disease throughout the mouth and upper aero-digestive tract. The transformation of normal mouth lining into ‘potentially malignant’ and subsequently malignant tissue is a complex, multistep and multifactorial process in which accumulated genetic alterations, often instigated by overuse of tobacco and alcohol, disrupt the normal functioning of oral epithelial cells. Unfortunately, there is considerable public ignorance regarding oral cancer, and it is imperative for disease prevention to raise awareness of the causes and symptoms of the disease, especially in those populations most ‘at-risk’ of cancer. This book provides pragmatic strategies to improve both prevention and treatment intervention. Spanning nearly 40 years of clinical investigation, it reviews the biological basis of oral cancer, outlines primary, secondary and tertiary preventive strategies and describe a pragmatic treatment intervention protocol that specifically utilizes the ‘potentially malignant window’ to identify malignant disease at the earliest possible stage and intervention to ‘stop the oral cancer clock’ and halt the progression of this deadliest of oral diseases.

Download or read book Functional Partial Laryngectomy written by M. E. Wigand and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer of the head and neck continues to be a challenge. Increasing incidence has pushed malignancy of the upper aerodigestive tract into the first rank of cancer. In some countries it follows bronchial carcinoma in frequency and is more common than gastro-intestinal and gynaecological cancer. This increasing incidence makes it difficult to train enough highly specialised staffwho are also responsible for the care of many other patients, requiring sophisticated microsurgery of the ear and nose. The question of quality is even more difficult. Oncological success in the treat ment of head and neck cancer is bought at the price of crippling of vital functions such as eating, breathing, voice and sight and furthermore of striking aesthetic de formity. Mutilation of this highly functional collection of organs is more keenly felt than that of any other region of the body. It is vital, therefore, that the surgeon keeps up with the recent achievements of functional surgery in order to offer the best ser vice to his patients. Cancer of the larynx is no exception. Despite newer techniques of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, surgery still gives the best oncological results. This requires a wide spectrum of operations varying from minimal ablation to total laryngectomy.
