Rezensionen
"The authors advocate a need to increase the education and knowledge of physicians about the positive effects associated with correct nutritional interventions and physical exercise and to advise patients of this strategy benefit. This publication, like the previous volumes, is 'essential reading' for all professional staff of a head and neck cancer multidisciplinary team, as well as any "budding physicians" that aspire to join a head and neck cancer team." (P J Bradley, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, March 28, 2023)
