Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of head and neck cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes multiple medical and dental specialties. In this Special Issue, we aim to address clinical studies related to benign and malignant head and neck tumors. The ultimate goal is to set the foundation for the collection of data that will be clinically relevant and helpful to experts globally to help improve their expertise and, subsequently, the treatment of their patients.
We are happy to invite all disciplines involved in the treatment of head and neck cancer patients to submit their work to this Special Issue. Most welcome are clinical studies and reviews which deal with the reconstruction/regeneration of soft and hard tissues with autogenous tissue or artificial materials after their successful cancer treatment, regardless of whether the cancer treatment was successfully finished via chemoradiotherapy, surgery, or a combination of both. We also welcome clinical trials addressing evolutions in head and neck cancer management.
