"Sections are well laid out with subsections clearly defined in the list of contents and expertly placed throughout. The sections have a structured approach from initial examination through diagnosis,treatment, complications and support allowing for natural progression through the book."<br /><b>- Michelle Williams, Dental Therapist, P<b>ublished in <i>Dental Therapy Update</i> (Official journal of the British Association of Dental Therapists)<i> </i>16:1 2023</b></b><b><br /><br /></b>"Essentially practical, with a strong supporting text, this book outlines the reality of head and neck tumours and the iatrogenic consequences thereof. The chapter on the post-laryngectomy patient is beautifully illustrated, the care and maintenance of the stoma demonstrated with photographs of real cases rather than line diagrams. Equally, the chapter on robotic surgery is a glimpse into the future,especially regarding a subject which very few have actually seen."<br /><b>- Rob Bate, Dental Surgeon, Published in <i>Dental Therapy Update</i> (Official journal of the British Association of Dental Therapists) 16:1 2023<br /></b><b><br /></b>"Jocelyn Harding has captured and explored the knowledge and experiences of skilled healthcare providers and patients alike, to develop this fabulously informative and insightful book...I would recommend this book to all members of the dental team: dental nurses, hygienists, therapists, dentists - everyone. There is a vast wealth of knowledge and experience captured within this book. It would be impossible not to gain from it."<br /><b>- Emma Miller, Dental Therapist, Published in <i>BDJ Team </i>(March 23)<br /></b><br />"I strongly believe that the book is a complete and up-to-date guide to understanding, learning, and diagnosing various types of carcinomas. It encompasses a wide range of topics related to not only detection and diagnosis but also patient management, care, patient education, and improving patient awareness. This makes the book a must-read for professionals like me who can play an important role in the diagnosis and management of cancer but to whom the knowledge isn't provided as a primary part of their professional life."<br /><b>- Saloni Garg, Dental Hygienist, Published in <i>BDJ Team </i>(March 23)</b>
