A special issue of Oral Oncology, edited by Alexander Rapidis, Patrick
Gullane, John Langdon, Jean Louis Lefebvre, Crispian Scully and Jatin Shah
The last 30 years has seen an explosion of knowledge
on oral carcinogenesis, as well as technological advances in the diagnosis of oral cancer. Advances in management include the combined
use of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This special issue of Oral Oncology records the major breakthroughs in the fight against
oral and head and neck cancer and contains a comprehensive collection of articles on the management of the disease.
Oral Oncology is an international
interdisciplinary journal which publishes high quality original research, clinical trials and review articles, and all other scientific
articles relating to the etiopathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and management of patients
with neoplasms in the head and neck, and orofacial disease in patients with malignant disease.
Oral Oncology is
of interest to head and neck surgeons and oncologists, maxillo-facial surgeons, oto-rhino-laryngologists, plastic surgeons, pathologists,
scientists, oral medical specialists, special care dentists, dental care professionals, general practitioners, general dental practitioners,
public health physicians, palliative care physicians, nurses, radiologists, radiographers, dieticians, occupational therapists, speech
and language therapists, nutritionists, clinical and health psychologists and counselors, professionals in end of life care, as well
as others interested in these fields.
Research or Review papers of high quality and that make a contribution to new knowledge
are invited on the following aspects of neoplasms arising in the head and neck (including lip, tongue, oral cavity, oropharynx, salivary
glands, sinuses, nose, nasopharynx, larynx, skull base and craniofacial region, and the related hard and soft tissues and lymph nodes)
and craniofacial disease in patients with malignant disease:
• Etiopathogenesis: natural history of cancer and pre-cancer; basic
pathology, metastatic mechanisms; genetic changes; cellular and molecular changes; microorganisms; growth factors, adhesion and other
molecules • Epidemiology; risk factors; biomarkers; protective factors; geographic factors; prevention; screening and intervention
• Clinical features; orofacial effects of neoplasms at both local and distant sites; tumor staging and grading • Diagnosis;
detection of cancer and pre-cancer; cellular and molecular markers for diagnosis; advances in imaging and other functional diagnostic
modalities for cancer and pre-cancer • Management and Prognosis; clinical, cellular and molecular markers for prognosis; treatment
options including surgical, lasers, photodynamic therapy, cryosurgery, micro- vascular and other forms of surgery, medical, radiotherapy,
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological and gene therapy advances; molecular targets and new therapeutics (new cytotonics and molecular-targeted
therapies); multimodality treatment; advances in reconstruction and rehabilitation, including flaps and grafts, alloplasty, bone and
connective tissue biology; multidisciplinary teamwork in cancer care and oral health care. • Quality of life issues; issues
of consent; psychosocial aspects; patient and health professional information; patient involvement; psychological interventions, improving
outcomes; the prevention, diagnosis and management of complications, including, pain, hemorrhage, dysfunction, deformity, osteoradionecrosis,
xerostomia, and others; rehabilitation; palliative and end of life care; and support teamwork. • Multicentre studies.
