Cancers Of The Head And Neck: From Diagnosis To Treatment

William Lydiatt, M.D. and Perry Johnson, M.D., have worked with hundreds of mouth and throat cancer patients. They understand the emotional turmoil patients and their families go through after a cancer diagnosis, and they know how being informed can relieve some of that stress. Topics covered in this book include: how early detection leads to high cure rates; symptoms that could mean cancer; the emotional side of the cancer; how doctors make a diagnosis; staging the cancer and why it so important; surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy; new treatments in immunotherapy and targeted therapies: reconstructive surgery; and experimental treatment through clinical trials--
