| Summary |
Pathology and Genetics of Head and Neck Tumours is the latest volume in the new WHO series
on histological and genetic typing of human tumours. This authoritative, concise reference book
provides an international standard for pathologists and oncologists and will serve as an indispensable
guide for use in the design of studies monitoring response to therapy and clinical outcome.
Diagnostic criteria, pathological features, and associated genetic alterations are described in a
strictly disease-oriented manner. Sections on all WHO-recognized neoplasms and their variants
include new ICD-O codes, incidence, age and sex distribution, location, clinical signs and symptoms,
pathology, genetics, and predictive factors.
The book, prepared by 130 authors from 28 countries, contains 890 colour photographs, X-rays,
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) images, charts, and more than 2900 references.
This volume covers tumours of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, of the nasopharynx, of the hypophyranyx, larynx and trachea, of the oral cavity and oropharynx, of salivary glands, as well as odontogenetic tumours, tumours of the ear, the paraganglionic system, and inherited tumour syndromes. Each entity is extensively discussed with information on clinicopathological, epidemiological, immunophenotypic and genetic aspects of these diseases.
