Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral cancer represents the most frequent malignancy of the head and neck area. Head and neck tumors, in turn, represent 8% of all malignant tumors and the fifth most common cause of death from malignant tumors worldwide. Among head and neck cancers, oral cancer has the worst prognosis, despite therapeutic improvements over the last 10 years. Our only real defense against oral cancer, at present, is secondary prevention and, therefore, early diagnosis.
The upcoming Special Issue will contain original articles, reviews, and an editorial with the aim of underlining the importance of the multidisciplinary approach: namely, the initial classification of the patient being conducted by multiple specialists in this subject area (oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, etc.).
