Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of head and neck cancer surgery has witnessed remarkable advancements, driven by innovative techniques, technological developments, and a deeper understanding of tumor biology. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research regarding surgical and non-surgical techniques, rehabilitation, as well as multidisciplinary approaches that are shaping the future of head and neck cancer surgery.
In this Special Issue, we will cover a wide range of topics related to head and neck cancer surgery, including, but not limited to, minimally invasive surgical techniques, robotic-assisted surgery, reconstructive surgery and microvascular techniques, surgical management of advanced and recurrent tumors, surgical innovations and technological advancements, multidisciplinary approaches to treatment planning and execution, surgical outcomes and quality-of-life assessments, patient-centered care and shared decision-making, and training and education in head and neck surgical oncology. The main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share their research findings in the field of head and neck cancer surgery.
This Special Issue is the second edition of a previous Issue, titled “Advancements in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/E3Z52H8YT6).
