Chemotherapy, as part of a multi-disciplinary and multi-modalityapproach, has become the standard of care for the treatment of locallyadvanced squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Until recently, chemotherapy
has been delivered as either induction chemotherapy, alsoknown as neoadjuvant therapy, or in combination with radiotherapy aschemoradiotherapy (CRT). Although induction chemotherapy with cisplatinumand 5-fluorouracil (PF) is effective in improving survival, patientstreated with induction chemotherapy have a high rate of local-regionalfailure despite a reduced rate of distant failure.

Product Description:
Obesity is undoubtedly the major nutritional disorder of the western world. It has such a major impact on mortality, morbidity and the quality of life that it most certainly merits consideration as a disease in its own right and should be managed as such.
Obesity and Weight Management in Primary Care covers all the evidence on the disease of obesity which impacts both quality of life and health. It reviews the links to long-term illness, especially diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and dedicates much to the current management strategies and treatment of obesity.
This book aims to make the task of tackling obesity less daunting for both patients and the health care professionals who treat them.
