Controversies in the Management of Salivary Gland Disease
This book presents a re-evaluation of our understanding of salivary gland disease. There is now an accumulated body of clinical data to add to the longer-standing pathological evidence. This book attempts to integrate the newer clinical findings with the historical pathological record, and to highlight, and where possible, resolve any conflicts between the two. It will be of interest to clinicians and scientists from a wide variety of backgrounds whose specialities bring them into contact with salivary gland disease.
Readership:
For general surgeons, oncologists, otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, radiologists, medical equipment manufacturers and paediatric surgeons.

Neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the major and minor salivary glands of the upper aerodigestive tract are relatively uncommon; however, they ignite interest in clinicians from many backgrounds.
This beautifully illustrated and designed book presents a re-evaluation of our understanding of salivary gland disease. There is now an accumulated body of clinical data to add to the longer-standing pathological evidence. Controversies in the management of salivary gland disease integrates the newer clinical findings with the historical pathological record, and attempts to resolve any conflicts between the two.
The book is divided into four sections. The first introduces the topic and covers epidemiology, aetiology, and classification. Sections two and three cover the benign and malignant neoplasms, and the final section examines other chronic disorders and calculi. The chapters are presented as a series of controversies, with the respective arguments presented, discussion included, and some editorial comment added as a summary.
The authors are all international authorities in their respective fields.
It should be read by general and maxillofacial surgeons, oncologists and otolaryngologists, as well as plastic and paediatric surgeons, clinical immunologists and radiologists. |
