Oncology and Head & Neck Surgery
Despite the fact that the highest incidence of skin cancer
is found in the head and neck, timely recognition of the
malignant state of the disease and appropriate diagnosis
making is often delayed and contributes to a considerable
amount of late referrals to cancer clinics. The adequate
diagnosis and treatment of head and neck skin cancer is
strongly dependent on a multidisciplinary approach with
active participation of various medical specialists. This symposium
brings pitfalls in the diagnostic process of primary
skin cancer, neck node metastases, surgical (reconstructive)
techniques and multimodality treatment to the attention of
the participants. Case report discussions are included as
well as how to implement the acquired knowledge.
The symposium is of importance for both residents and
specialists working in the field of otolaryngology, maxillofacial
surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology and fellows in
training for head and neck oncology and surgery. Lectures
and presentations aim at an adequate information on current
advances and state of the art of diagnosis and treatment
of head and neck skin cancer.
