ABOUT THIS BOOK
• Comprehensive, easy-to-follow reference
• Offers clear guidance on surgery and other treatments
• Describes reconstruction techniques in detail
• Discusses complications of treatment and reconstruction and their management
The lip is the most common site of malignancy in the head and neck region.
Although high cure rates can be achieved by early treatment, a significant percentage
of lip cancers demonstrate aggressive behaviour, posing management difficulties.
Given the aesthetic and functional significance of the lip, reconstruction post
surgery is also extremely important, yet this, too, can be challenging.
This textbook is intended as a comprehensive reference that will provide easy-to-follow
and well-organized guidance on the management of lip cancer, from diagnosis
to treatment and reconstruction. After discussion of anatomy and premalignant
conditions, detailed attention is paid to squamous cell carcinoma of the lip.
Surgical management is explained, and the roles of radiation therapy and chemotherapy,
discussed. Reconstruction techniques following ablative surgery are then described
in depth, with reference to defect size and complexity. In addition, the potential
complications of treatment and reconstruction are presented, with advice on
their management. The closing chapter considers other malignant lesions of the
lip.
The informative text is complemented by high-quality illustrations and clinical
and radiographic material. The contributors all have extensive experience and
in-depth knowledge of the topics they address.
