Synopsis:
In this presentation, some of the major and broad developments shaping our understanding of the etiology of the cancer of upper aerodigestive tract and the evolution of the treatment of this condition will be outlined. A historical examination of the practice of science in medicine will be carried out using cancer of the vocal tract as an exemplar. An attempt will be made to answer these basic questions: Is practice of medicine scientific in its scope and evolution? How does science applies itself in medical inquiry? What can be said about the nature of scientific inquiry in medicine?
