A team of expert authors from the medical and allied health communities describe recent advances in the management of head and neck cancer through a greater understanding of cancer cell growth and mechanisms, as well as the expansion of rehabilitation strategies across the allied health profession.

In addition to introducing new information, the book covers both the theoretical and clinical knowledge from an international perspective to support basic training of therapists in practice as well as graduate students, all illuminated with case examples--from swallowing disorders, through non-surgical voice restoration, to rehabilitation following total laryngeal surgery--on an accompanying CD ROM.

As the first book in recent years to cover both current theory and clinical practice, this will prove an essential textbook and practical clinical reference for the head and neck cancer rehabilitation team.
