Das Hineinwachsen der MR-Tomographie in die klinische Routine und die Entdeckung neuer Anwendungen vollziehen sich vor unseren Augen schrittweise und doch mit bemerkenswerter Schnelligkeit, ganz ähnlich wie bei der Entwicklung der Computertomographie.
In spite of great advance made by ENT and maxillofacial surgeons as well as radiotherapists to improve therapy of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx, it has not been possible in the past 4 decades to raise the chances of patient survival above 40%-45%.
Our society is entering its fourth decade of existence, as of the 30th Annual Meeting in London, and we felt that this event merited reflection - a look back into the past - so as to better appreciate where we come from and where our sub speciality stands today, also in order to understand our colleagues from the different areas in Europe.
