| Summary: | This volume considers the treatment of head and neck cancer from the point of view of the radiation oncologist. The epidemiology of head and neck cancer, evaluation of the patient, and basic treatment issues are discussed and the separate chapters are devoted to specific head and neck sites. The book provides a valuable summary of treatment approaches and results representing the best standard of care in the United States, Canada, and Europe. It offers a consensus approach and does not set forth the particular attitudes of any single institution. A comprehensive survey of the relevant literature is presented at the end of each chapter. Material is treated in such a way as to be relevant both to the practicing clinician and the resident in training. |
