Main description:

Oral cancer can affect any part of the mouth, including the tongue and lips. Symptoms include a sore or ulcer that does not heal after three or more weeks. Accurate and rapid diagnosis can help in extending survival and preventing the progression of disease.

This book is a practical guide to the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.

Divided into 36 sections, the text begins with an overview of the surgical anatomy of oral cavities, epidemiology, prevention, pathology, and staging of oral cancer, then imaging techniques.

The following chapters examine the management of numerous different forms of oral cancer, concluding with a case presentation and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.

The extensive text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.
