The cure rate of oral cancer has scarcely increased over the past forty years despite real advances in treatment. Malignant Tumours of the Mouth, Jaw and Salivary Glands attempts to assess objectively the value of various types of treatment in current use for mouth cancer and malignant tumours of the jaws and salivary glands, while bearing in mind the necessity of fitting the treatment policy to the needs of the individual patient. In this context the necessity for joint consultation between clinicians from a variety of disciplines is stressed. This major text is thus timely and the inclusion of salivary glands and the jaw will increase its appeal.
