The text covers diagnosis, clinical approach, medical and surgical intervention and prognosis. The contributors are internationally renowned specialists with a particular interest in the larynx. They include paediatric and adult laryngologists, voice and speech pathologists, anatomists, pathologists, radiologists, anaesthesiologists, oncologists, chemotherapists, radiotherapists, and other specialists with a particular interest in the larynx. Their combined knowledge and experience makes 'Diseases of the Larynx' a must-have compendium.
