Críticas
This textbook represents a wonderfully comprehensive approach to every aspect of the science, treatment, and rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients. This single thousand-page volume would be my choice if I could have only one book on the subject. Purpose: The purpose of presenting a multidisciplinary approach to the subject is unique and well met. Audience: I believe this book is an absolute must for any physician or health professional involved in the care of head and neck patients. Features: Every conceivable topic in head and neck cancer is addressed, and some chapters deal with topics that are usually only alluded to at best. For example, there are two chapters on orbital malignancies. Additionally, the ethics of treatment and outcome research and cost analysis are well covered. The attention to technique, whether it be surgical, radiation, or medical is appropriate but not overdone. The references are current and extensive. Assessment: I have never used the word "exciting" to describe a textbook before, but it fits here. My practice is limited to head and neck cancer and I find this book a most current and complete treatment of this subject from a multi-specialty perspective.
