Oral Cancer

Description:

A state-of-the-art guide on oral cancer management from distinguished experts!
Oral Cancer: Evaluation, Therapy, and Rehabilitation edited by prominent Johns Hopkins clinicians and educators Carole
Fakhry, Karen Pitman, Ana Kiess, and David Eisele provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review on the diagnosis
and management of oral cancer. This unique resource fills a void in the literature by exploring surgical and
reconstructive issues specific to each subsite of the oral cavity. Important pre- and post-treatment evaluations by
dental, speech language pathology, and the oncologic care team are reviewed.

The comprehensive book is divided into 10 sections, each focused on different facets of the patients` trajectory.
The text starts with epidemiology of oral cavity cancer and discussion of patient populations at increased risk of
oral cavity cancer. The book details pre-cancers, multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluations, treatment, post-treatment,
recurrent and metastatic oral cancer, and palliative care, concluding with future directions such as chemoprevention.
A full spectrum of oral neoplasms are covered in depth, including different types of squamous cell cancer, primary
malignancies of the mandible, and sublingual and minor salivary gland malignancies.

Key Features

All oral cavity subsites are approached from both an ablative and reconstructive standpoint, with dedicated
chapters focused on specific oral cancer reconstructive techniques

Discussion of oncologic considerations encompassing radiation and medical oncology including definitive radiation
therapy, brachytherapy, adjuvant radiation therapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy/novel therapeutics

Clinical pearls cover complications of both surgery and radiation therapy, as well as psychological and dental
implications of therapy

High-quality illustrations, photographs, and videos further elucidate impacted anatomy and techniques
