neck.
Each chapter
provides discussion of etiology, pathology, pathophysiology, and surgical
anatomy, providing the necessary background for diagnostic evaluation, surgical
treatment as well as nonsurgical treatment, including chemotherapy and
speech, voice, and swallowing implications following ablative procedures.
