Informa Healthcare, March 2012, Pages: 128

A unique and vital resource for oncologists, otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, respiratory physicians, and ENT, maxillo-facial, thoracic, and upper gastrointestinal surgeons, A Diagnostic Atlas of Tumors of the Upper Aero-Digestive Tract brings the reader up-to-date with the correct identification and diagnosis for malignant disease of the larynx, pharynx, and esophagus. This resource is the only available atlas that covers these anatomical areas and highlights the different pathologies physicians may encounter.

Key features of this highly visual guide include:

- A thorough knowledge of the entire upper aero-digestive tract and its
pathologies
- Recent advances in flexible endoscopy which makes visualization,
identification, biopsy, and treatment of conditions of the upper
aero-digestive tract easier and possible under local anesthesia in an
outpatient setting
- Incorporates more than 170 high quality images
- Accessible and concise information for medical students, nurses, surgical
and medical trainees and consultants
- Accompanying video clips of this technology available to view online
