Abstract:
This lecture by Dr. Fletcher discusses the careful balance between actively treating cancer of the head and neck and maintaining quality of life. Doctors should favor procedures to determine types of lesions and how invasive they are without disfiguring the patient’s face. However, if the lesion is larger and more dangerous, it may be more important to perform dissection. Dr. Fletcher reminds his audience that some patients may be 35-year-old women who would want to maintain the appearance of their faces as well as their lives.
