Abstract:	Recent treatments and management styles have created the need for this new book on this very intractable cancer. The latest surgical, radiation, and chemotherapeutic protocols are presented, approaching each disease process from a multidisciplinary perspective, offering the reader a guide to the diagnosis, initial treatment, adjuvant therapy, supportive therapy, and post-operative follow-up, with evidence-based protocols from surgeons as well as those from nonsurgical specialties for specific disease entities, (i.e. laryngeal cancer, base of tongue cancer, etc.). Each disease topic is reviewed by a surgeon, radiation oncologist, and a medical oncologist to create a multidisciplinary "tumor board" approach to patient care, and options for treatment of each sire will be presented in three distinct sections. Includes evidence-based protocols.
