This book offers a selection of the critical current issues and challenges in head and neck cancer. It covers most key concepts of the subject, from diagnostic challenges to multidisciplinary decision-making aspects in head and neck oncology.

The book is an introduction to concepts in head and neck surgical pathology that are both novel and proven.
