Manual of Procedures in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
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.

Towards “JusBiomas”: The Potential of Geotechnology for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Civil Liability for Illegal Deforestation
This publication, "Towards 'JusBiomas'," explores the significant potential of geotechnology in monitoring the effectiveness of civil liability for illegal deforestation. By integrating georeferenced data from judicial and public prosecutor proceedings with satellite imagery and data, it offers a novel approach to assessing whether actions aimed at repairing environmental damage caused by illegal deforestation are genuinely leading to ecological recovery and preventing further harm. Recent changes in national regulations now mandate the inclusion of geographic coordinates and maps of affected areas in environmental offense cases, enabling standardized national monitoring through the SireneJud platform. This work proposes a methodology to link legal judgments and agreements with the specific locations of illegal deforestation, allowing for cross-referencing with MapBiomas data. This enables the creation of indicators to measure environmental recovery, such as the area rehabilitated, the time taken, and the new land use. The study also highlights the need to improve tools for monitoring compensation amounts paid by responsible parties, emphasizing the enhancement of SireneJud, the use of geospatial compliance indicators, and strengthened inter-institutional collaboration to translate the 'polluter pays' principle into tangible environmental restoration.
University of São Paulo Extension Courses
