Metastases in Head and Neck Cancer

Metastases in Head and Neck Cancer
The incidence of malignant tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract is increasing.

The present book offers an extensive overview of the differential diagnosis of lymph node diseases swollen lymph node back of neck and their therapy for physicians in many disciplines principally those that deal with oncology of the head swollen lymph node back of neck and neck region, but also general medicine swollen lymph node back of neck and pediatrics.  Detailed  descriptions of lymphologic principles create a basis for the understanding of the various lymph node diseases.
