Head and Neck Cancer: A Multidisciplinary Approachis a two-part approach that any physician treating head and neck cancer patients must follow: maximize the chance for a cure while maintaining a strong emphasis on quality of life. Coverage:

• reviews of the molecular biology
• other basic science aspects of these cancers
• general principles of patient management
• guidelines for surgical
• non-surgical management of cancers at specific anatomic sites
• explores future directions in head and neck oncology
