Opis

This book set, in four volumes, is an authoritative, in-depth reference guide that covers all aspects of the management of oral cancer from a multidisciplinary perspective and on the basis of a strong scientific foundation. Individual volumes are devoted to tumor biology, epidemiology, etiology, and prevention; diagnosis and treatment options; reconstructive surgical techniques; and rehabilitation and supportive care. By integrating current scientific knowledge into a manual for comprehensive care of the oral cavity cancer patient, the book will fill a substantial void in the literature. Further key features are thorough attention to the practical significance of emerging technology and the inclusion of contributions from authors in diverse geographic locations and practice settings in order to ensure that the guidance is of global relevance. The clearly written text is supported by ample illustrations and by case studies highlighting important practical issues.Volume 1: Biology, Epidemiology, Etiology, and PreventionVolume 2: Diagnosis and ManagementVolume 3: Oral and Maxillofacial Reconstructive SurgeryVolume 4: Rehabilitation and Supportive Care
