"Jocelyn Harding has captured and explored the knowledge and experiences of skilled healthcare providers and patients alike, to develop this fabulously informative and insightful book...I would recommend this book to all members of the dental team: dental nurses, hygienists, therapists, dentists - everyone. There is a vast wealth of knowledge and experience captured within this book. It would be impossible not to gain from it."- Emma Miller, Dental Therapist, Published in BDJ Team (March 23)"I strongly believe that the book is a complete and up-to-date guide to understanding, learning, and diagnosing various types of carcinomas. It encompasses a wide range of topics related to not only detection and diagnosis but also patient management, care, patient education, and improving patient awareness. This makes the book a must-read for professionals like me who can play an important role in the diagnosis and management of cancer but to whom the knowledge isn't provided as a primary part of their professional life."- Saloni Garg, Dental Hygienist, Published in BDJ Team (March 23)
