This book covers all the necessary aspects of our knowledge
on nasopharyngeal carcinoma, from anatomy, histopathology, epidemiology,
experimental studies, clinical manifestations, clinical and laboratory
diagnostic methods to the latest imaging techniques. It also contains
all of the information necessary for the clinician to reach the proper
staging of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and to treat the tumour efficiently.
In addition, it offers guidance on screening family members in order
to better control very early tumours or even precancerous conditions.
This second and fully revised edition updates comprehensively
the knowledge on nasopharyngeal carcinoma and provides readily available
access to the experience accumulated in an endemic region covering many
aspects of this disease. The Editors also provide an up-to-date and
comprehensive reference of interest to all who interact with nasopharyngeal
carcinoma, whether it be in a clinical, laboratory or research setting.
The authors of various chapters are specialists in their
respective fields, and this new edition is again carefully edited by
Professor Andrew van Hasselt and Professor Alan Gibb.
