A Diagnostic Atlas of Tumours of the Upper Aero-Digestive Tract. A Transnasal Video Endoscopic Approach

KEY FEATURES:

A unique and vital resource for oncologists, otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, respiratory physicians, and ENT, maxillo-facial, thoracic, and upper gastrointestinal surgeons, Diagnostic Atlas of Tumors of the Upper Aero-Digestive Tract brings the reader upto-date with the correct identification and diagnosis for malignant disease of the larynx, pharynx, and oesophagus.
