These cancers affect the salivary glands, hypopharynx, nasopharynx, larynx, oral cavity, oropharynx and paranasal sinuses. There are various symptoms of HNC, such as a sore that does not go away, and may include uncomfortable feeling in the throat or mouth, a change or hoarseness in voice quality, a lump in the neck and trouble in swallowing. The causes of HNC are linked to alcohol consumption and smoking. The consumption of tobacco results in exposure to a variety of carcinogens. The initial diagnosis of HNC is essential in establishing a patient's final prognosis because of the limited therapeutic choices for recurring and advanced malignancies. The management of HNCs is difficult and requires a multidisciplinary approach. It can be treated with systemic therapy, surgery and radiotherapy. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of head and neck oncology. Those with an interest in this medical field would find it helpful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Medical Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45412299964567,"sku":"9781639276455","price":12424.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781639276455.webp?v=1768583675","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/critical-issues-in-head-and-neck-oncology-9781639276455","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
