Opis

Research on the factors that determine the course and prognosis of head and neck cancers has now reached the stage where a synoptic review is in order, to draw together those aspects that are of most importance for patient management. Oncologists and Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgeons alike will benefit greatly from this distillation of the clinically relevant aspects of the subject.
