This book gathers the consensus recommendations on diagnostic procedures in patients with neck masses by the European Head and Neck Society, European Federation of Cytology Societies, European Society of Hybrid Imaging and International Melanoma Pathology Study Group. 

Because of the variability of anatomical structures and the richness of histological tissues, the diagnostic process for neck masses is often complex. The diagnostic process depends on the habits of oncological centers, the experience of specialists and particular standards. In reality, there is no international recommendations which would allow to define the optimal and least invasive modalities for carrying out a rapid and accurate diagnosis.

Written by the most eminent specialists of different profiles and geographic areas, who present and analyze different technical modalities, the book combines the different points of view and defines the agreed upon optimal technique. 

Each chapter is short, informative, well referenced and the main messages are placed in tables and boxes.

The book is addressed to oncologists, radiologists, nuclear physicians, ENT surgeons, surgical- and cyto-pathologists, 

This work is under the patronage of the International Academy of Cytoloy (IAC).
