This manual provides comprehensive guidance on head and neck cancer surgery, designed for both experienced professionals and those in training. It covers general principles of oncological treatment, pre-operative evaluation, post-operative management, and criteria for unresectability and inoperability. The book details specific protocols for treating major head and neck malignancies, including thyroid, larynx, oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx, salivary glands, skull base, skin, and sarcomas. Each chapter follows a systematic structure that includes diagnosis, TNM staging, surgical and non-surgical treatment, indications for adjuvant therapy, and follow-up strategies. A dedicated chapter also outlines the operational data and scientific production of the Head and Neck Surgery service at ICESP from 2009 to 2025. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists from ICESP, the manual's technical, direct, and organized language is based on the latest AJCC (8th ed.) guidelines, adapted for the Brazilian context. It emphasizes patient safety, care efficiency, and standardization of clinical and surgical practices, serving as a practical reference for clinical decision-making in hospital, outpatient, and teaching settings. The aim is to contribute to continuous education, standardized practices, and improved oncological outcomes in head and neck surgery.
