Description:
This
book highlights the unique aspects of oncologic ophthalmology as a
medical and surgical discipline practiced at a comprehensive cancer
center. Multi-disciplinary management of ocular, orbital and adnexal
cancers are highlighted using simple and tried-and-true algorithms. In
addition, ocular problems caused as a direct result of cancer treatment
are reviewed using illustrative photographs and case presentations. The
content is provided by full-time ophthalmology faculty and fellows at
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Experts in complementary disciplines such
as ophthalmic pathology, dermatopathology, radiation oncology,
radiology, and other surgical subspecialties have brought their unique
perspective to each chapter. - This book highlights the unique aspects of

The book is abundant with clinical photographs as well as
interesting case presentations that will help the clinician correctly
diagnose cancers of the orbit, eye, and adnexal structures, initiate
appropriate management, as well as recognize and treat common ocular
complications of cancer therapy.
Ophthalmic Oncology explores the unique aspects of oncologic
ophthalmology as a medical and surgical discipline practiced at a
comprehensive cancer center. Multi-disciplinary management of ocular,
orbital and adnexal cancers are highlighted using simple and
tried-and-true algorithms. In addition, ocular problems caused as a
direct result of cancer treatment are reviewed using illustrative
photographs and case presentations.
The content is provided by full-time ophthalmology faculty and
fellows at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Experts in complementary
disciplines such as ophthalmic pathology, dermatopathology, radiation
oncology, radiology, and other surgical subspecialties, bring a novel
perspective to each chapter. Clinical photographs and case
presentations help clinicians, practicing general ophthalmologists,
orbital and oculoplastics specialists, medical and surgical oncologists,
and ophthalmology residents and fellows to correctly diagnose cancers
of the orbit, eye, and adnexal structures, initiate appropriate
management, as well as recognize and treat common ocular complications
of cancer therapy. Written for:
Practicing
