Do You Have Questions about Head and Neck Cancers?
If you have been diagnosed with cancer of the head or neck, you probably have pressing questions about the cancer and the course of treatment you’ll need.
Authors William Lydiatt, M.D., and Perry Johnson, M.D., have treated thousands of cancer patients. They understand the emotional turmoil patients and their families go through after a cancer diagnosis, and they know that being informed can relieve some of the stress. In Cancers of the Head and Neck, they cover such topics as:
The importance of early detection
- Symptoms that could mean cancer
- Getting a diagnosis
- Staging the cancer and why it is important
- Treatment—surgery and radiation
- Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy
- Experimental treatments through clinical trials
