| Summary, etc. | The term “cancer of the head and neck” generally includes neoplasms arising from the mucosa<br/>of the upper aerodigestive tract, including the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, as well as<br/>tumors of the salivary glands, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and neoplasms arising from<br/>the skin, soft tissues, and bones of the craniofacial skeleton. Tumors of neurovascular origin<br/>and those arising in the ear canal, temporal bone, orbit, and skull base are also included in<br/>this list. Over the course of the past century, the specialty treating these tumors has evolved<br/>into a very complex multidisciplinary field requiring the expertise of head and neck surgeons,<br/>radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, maxillofacial/dental surgeons, reconstructive<br/>microsurgeons, and other allied specialists. The training programs for specializing in this<br/>complex specialty have also evolved over the course of the past 30 years, with the need to<br/>incorporate training in increasingly complex technologies, development of new skill sets, and<br/>integration of exposure to nonsurgical disciplines. An increasing number of textbooks have<br/>been published over the past 20 years, as well as a plethora of published journal articles, with<br/>emphasis on multidisciplinary treatments. Ample literature is available for the trainee and the<br/>practitioner to remain abreast of the advances made in the field.<br/>However, no specialty or board certification examination is available in this<br/>complex field, and thus there is no measure of one’s competency in the specialty. The graduates<br/>of the senior fellowship program in head and neck surgery and oncology and the faculty of the<br/>head and neck program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York have created<br/>this self-assessment compendium to measure the fundamental basic knowledge required of an<br/>individual engaged in the specialty of head and neck surgery and oncology. This book by no<br/>means is sufficient to measure competency in the specialty, nor is it intended to be sufficient<br/>to gain certification in the specialty. On the other hand, it certainly introduces the reader to the<br/>process of self-assessment of knowledge, judgment, an algorithmic thinking process, and the<br/>decision-making ability in dealing with day-to-day problems in patients with neoplasms arising in the head and neck.<br/>Each chapter contains a topic, following the sequence of the chapters in Jatin Shah’s Head<br/>and Neck Surgery and Oncology, Fourth Edition. The questions are presented in three categories:<br/>(1) True or False, (2) Single Best Answer, and (3) Multiple Choice combinations. Each chapter<br/>includes the basic Core Knowledge required and has a Suggested Reading list. The answers to<br/>the questions are provided at the end of each chapter. It is our hope that the reader will benefit<br/>from initially taking the examination, pursue the topic further by reviewing the Core Knowledge, and then gain further knowledge from reading the recommended textbooks. We also<br/>hope that this initial attempt at self-assessment will stimulate the reader to remain engaged in<br/>continuing medical education in order to remain current with this rapidly advancing specialty |
