A Note on the Series H ead and neck cancer (HNC) is a major public health challenge. Its management involves a multidisciplinary team approach, which varies depending upon the subtle differences in the location of the tumor, stage and biology of disease, and availabil- ity of resources. In the wake of rapidly evolving diagnostic technologies and man- agement techniques, and advances in the basic sciences related to HNC, it is important for both clinicians and basic scientists to be up to date in their knowledge of new diagnostic and management protocols. This series aims to cover the entire range of HNC-related issues through inde- pendent volumes on specifi c topics. Each volume focuses on a single topic relevant to the current practice of HNC and contains comprehensive chapters written by experts in the fi eld. The reviews in each volume provide vast information on key clinical advances and novel approaches to enable a better understanding of relevant aspects in HNC. Individual volumes present different perspectives and have the potential to serve as stand-alone reference guides. We believe these volumes will prove useful for the practice of head and neck surgery and oncology. Medical students, residents, clini- cians, and general practitioners seeking to develop their knowledge of HNC will benefi t from them. Rehan Kazi Raghav C. Dwivedi vii Foreword Randal S. Weber N on-melanoma skin cancer is a signifi cant public health problem for the popula- tions of North America, Australia, and parts of Europe.

Non-melanoma Skin Cancer of the Head and Neck edited by Riffat, Palme, and Veness is a concise volume devoted to the biology, pathology, and clinical charac- teristics of non-melanoma skin cancer. Current and future therapeutic modalities are addressed in the setting of multidisciplinary care. The editors are recognized clini- cal experts in the fi eld of cutaneous malignancy management and bring their knowl- edge and practical experience to bear in the creation of this text. Their focus on both cutaneous and adnexal cancers of the skin is useful and will serve as a ready resource ix
