The incidence of malignant tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract is increasing. The carcinomas of this area, mostly squamous cell carcinomas, are often accompanied by cervical lymph node metastases. Not infrequently, the primary tumor causes no discomfort and its existence is inferred from the presence of metastases. The present book offers an exhaustive overview of the differential diagnosis of lymph node diseases and their therapy for physicians in many disciplines û principally those that deal with oncology of the head and neck region, but also general medicine and pediatrics.

High-quality photographs and tables underline the high didactic value of this volume. … full description
