Description:
Since the first edition was published in 1982, Treatment of Cancer
has become a standard text for postgraduate physicians in the UK and
beyond, providing all information necessary for modern cancer
management in one comprehensive but accessible volume. By inviting
experts from a number of disciplines to share their knowledge, the
editors have succeeded in delivering a truly integrated approach to the
care fo the patient with cancer.
This fifth edition adopts the successful structure of the previous
editions, whilst being thoroughly revised and updated, and with several
completely new chapters, covering important topics such as drug
development, cancer prevention, and economics of cancer care, as well
as treatments such as radioimmunotherapy, biological therapies and
antibody therapy.
Part One considers the scientific basis and
fundamental principles underlying cancer treatment and examines the
likely developments that will occur over the next decade at the leading
edge of oncology. Part Two is divided into two sections; the first
covering general issues of cancer management, including planning
techniques, concomitent chemoradiotherapy, surgical oncology and
palliative care; and the second using a system-based approach to cover
the clinical aspects and management plans for the whole spectrum of
malignant disease.
Treatment of Cancer
surpasses other oncology texts in condensing the essential information
for exemplary cancer care into one readable and accessible guide, and
will be an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of the busy
oncologist in training or in practice.
Review:
"It will, I am sure, become the standard textbook on the treatment of
cancer and will be of value to all those studying or practicing
oncology in any form."--British Medical Journal
"Should be mandatory reading for clinical oncologists in training and
will be a valuable source of information for those in other disciplines
who deal with cancer patients or who work in association with
oncologists."--Clinical Oncology
