Textbook of Oral Cancer
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-32318-9 (ISBN)
- Covers all aspects of cancers of the mouth and oropharynx, from epidemiology to management
- Includes guidance on molecular targeted therapies for advanced cases
- Meets the needs of advanced students and practitioners in the early stages of specialist training
This comprehensive multidisciplinary book examines all aspects of cancers of the mouth and oropharynx with the aim of equipping advanced students and practitioners in the early stages of specialist training with an up-to-date guide and reference.
A multinational team of authors - all experts in the field of oral oncology - provide illuminating contributions on the full range of relevant topics: epidemiology, risk factors, clinical features, staging and prognostic factors, pathology, diagnostic techniques, disease prevention, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Molecular biology, molecular targeted therapies for advanced cases, and future diagnostic and prognostic applications of new technologies also receive careful attention.
In providing a wealth of essential information and guidance in a practical format, the book will be a superb asset for senior graduate students in dentistry and specialist trainees in head and neck oncology. It will also be of high value for the many physicians, surgeons, pathologists, dentists, and specialists involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity and oropharynx.

He is a member of the editorial board of Oral Oncology and Editor-in-Chief of Translational Research on Oral Oncology (Sage Publishing) and also served as Deputy Editor of Oral Diseases from 1995 to 2005. Dr. Warnakulasuriya has received an OBE from Her Majesty the Queen for services to Medicine and in 2015 was awarded the IADR's Distinguished Scientist Award for Oral Medicine & Pathology. He is a Fellow of King's College London.
John S. Greenspan is Distinguished Professor-Emeritus of Oral Pathology in the Department of Orofacial Sciences and Associate Dean-Emeritus for Global Oral Health in the School of Dentistry at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He is also Distinguished Professor-Emeritus of Pathology in the School of Medicine and a leading participant in the UCSF Global Health Sciences Program. He is founding Director of the UCSF Oral AIDS Center and of the UCSF AIDS Specimen Bank. Dr. Greenspan is a Past-President of the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) and of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR). He was founding President of the IADR Global Oral Health Inequalities Research Network (IADR-GOHIRN) and founding Director of the International Sjögren’s Syndrome Registry (SICCA). He is a Fellow of King's College London.
