Wei Dr. AU-YEUNG Cheuk-lun, Henry 區陽卓倫 醫生 (Paediatrics) In the last two decades, Head and Neck Surgery as a surgical Dr. CHAN Chi-wai, Angus subspecialty has made significant progresses. The developments are 陳志偉 醫生 (General Surgery) in many facets, from diagnosis to treatment and then to rehabilitation. Dr. Norman CHAN 陳諾 醫生 (Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism) Diseases are diagnosed in their earlier stages and thus the outcome is Dr. CHIANG Chung-seung better. The preparation of the patients for surgery has also improved, 蔣忠想 醫生 (Cardiology) making the necessary surgical procedures more safe for the patient, Dr. CHONG Lai-yin despite the increased incidence of co-morbidities in these patients 莊禮賢 醫生 (Dermatology & Venereolgy) Dr. CHUH An-tung, Antonio suffering from head and neck cancer and their increasing age on 許晏冬 醫生 (Family Medicine) presentation. Dr. FAN Yiu-wah 范耀華 醫生 (Neurosurgery) The concept of surgical technique has also evolved, aiming at Dr. FONG Ka-yeung 方嘉揚 醫生 (Neurology) reducing the surgical trauma, while removing the pathology Dr. FUNG Ho-chuen, Alec completely. Surgical resection is guided with different preoperative 馮浩泉 醫生 (Dermatology & Venereolgy) imaging studies and sometimes intraoperative computed tomography Dr. FUNG Yee-pong, Adrian 馮貽邦 醫生 (Dermatology & Venereolgy) navigation. Thus precise extirpation of the lesion is possible without Dr. HO Pak-leung damaging the surrounding normal tissue, achieving optimal results. 何 良 醫生 (Clinical Microbiology and Infections) Even for advanced tumours in the head and neck region, successful Dr. KWOK Kwan-ho, Alvin curative treatment results are frequently seen. Through concomitant 郭坤豪 醫生 (Ophthalmology) Dr. KWOK Po-yin, Samuel chemoradiation organ function is possible in some patients and 郭寶賢 醫生 (General Surgery) surgical salvage is only performed for residual and recurrent tumour. Dr. LAI Cheuk Seen, Edward 黎卓先 醫生 (General Surgery) This series of articles starts with the development of molecular Dr. LAI Kei-wai, Christopher 賴奇偉 醫生 (Respiratory Medicine) biology in head and neck cancer. The significant advance in this field Dr. LAI Sik-to, Thomas has been the identification of molecular markers so that early 黎錫滔 醫生 (Gastroenterology & Hepatology) detection of cancer becomes possible. Through these studies, we Dr. LAM Tat-chung, Paul increase our understanding of the carcinogenesis of the malignant 林達聰 醫生 (Psychiatry) Dr. LAM Wai-man, Wendy tumours and thus have opportunities to design options for their 林慧文 醫生 (Radiology) eradication such as the targeted therapies. All these are summarised Dr. LAO Tzu-his, Terence by Professor Yuen in his article. 勞子僖 醫生 (Obstetrics & Gynaecology) Dr. LEE Man-piu, Albert 李文彪 醫生 (Dentistry) The development of the Head and Neck Surgery subspecialty in Hong Dr. LEUNG Wai-tong, Thomas Kong over the years has its share of difficulties. This is particularly so 梁惠棠 醫生 (Clinical Oncology) in a general hospital and all these are summarised by Dr. Tang in his Dr. LO See-kit, Raymond article We are delighted to see that he has done so well and has 勞思傑 醫生 (Geriatrics) Dr. MAN Chi-wai successfully integrated Head and Neck Surgery through collegiality 文志衛 醫生 (Urology) with other specialties. Dr. MOK Mo-yin 莫慕賢 醫生 (Rheumatology) Dr. MONG Hoi-Keung Dr. Fung, president of the Hong Kong College of 蒙海強 醫生 (Forensic Pathology) Otorhinolaryngologists, has given a comprehensive background on Dr. TEO Man-lung, Peter how the specialty of Head and Neck Surgery started in the 張文龍 醫生 (Clinical Oncology) international arena. The achievements and the interactions with other Dr. TSANG Wai-kay 曾偉基 醫生 (Nephrology) surgical disciplines have accompanied the growth of the specialty. Dr. TSE Tak-fu Taking into account all the developments in diagnostic and 謝德富 醫生 (Cardiology) therapeutic measures over the years, he has defined the scope of the Prof. William I WEI contemporary Head and Neck Surgery. A multiple discipline 韋霖 教授 (Otorhinolaryngology) Dr. WONG Bun-lap, Bernard approach is essential to provide the best care for the patient suffering 黃品立 醫生 (Cardiology) from head and neck lesions. Dr. WU Wing-cheung, Stephen 胡永祥 醫生 (Orthopaedics & Traumatology) One of the major advances in Head and Neck Surgery is the ability to reconstruct these complex defects after curative resection of the EXECUTIVE MANAGER disease in the head and neck region. Dr. Ho in his article detailed the Ms. CHENG Shu-yue, Sue 鄭淑儀 小姐 contribution of plastic and reconstructive surgeons towards the 2 VOL.12VOL.11 NO.5 NO.7 MAY JULY 2006 2007 Editorial management of patients suffering from head and neck to use which method of reconstruction and why, was pathologies.
