Oral Cancer

Emphasis is given to the fundamental principles of cancer management - those that apply regardless of the differing treatment protocols currently in use. The key techniques used in different sites of the mouth and jaws are presented and additional coverage of important examples given. Individual chapters cover: Biology; Evaluation; General principles of cancer surgery; Ablative surgery of the mouth and jaws; Neck dissections; General principles of reconstructive surgery; Reconstruction of the mouth and jaws following ablative cancer surgery; Radiotherapy and other treatment modalities (including chemotherapy). 'Oral Cancer: a synopsis of pathology and management' is an invaluable basic reference source for all general medical and dental practitioners, junior hospital staff and dental students. The clarity of the presentation of the basic principles involved means that it should also prove indispensable to busy registrars as a quickly accessible revision tool.
