Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Head and neck oncology represents a complex and dynamic field at the intersection of surgery, oncology, and advanced technology. Over the past decade, significant strides have been made in the diagnosis, treatment, and reconstruction of head and neck cancers, fueled by innovations that continue to reshape patient outcomes. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and explores the transformative impact of emerging technologies in the management of head and neck malignancies.
Key topics in this Special Issue include the integration of robotic-assisted surgery, advancements in precision medicine, and the use of artificial intelligence for early detection and treatment planning. We also aim to examine breakthroughs in imaging modalities, minimally invasive techniques, and personalized therapeutic strategies, including immunotherapy and targeted therapies. In parallel, advancements in reconstructive surgery and 3D printing are revolutionizing functional and aesthetic rehabilitation for patients undergoing oncologic treatment.
By bringing together leading experts and researchers, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge approaches that are setting new standards of care in head and neck oncology. We invite readers to explore these innovations, which hold the potential to improve survival rates, reduce morbidity, and enhance quality of life for patients facing these challenging diagnoses.
