Reviews:
""'It will, I am sure, become the standard textbook on the treatment of cancer and will be of value to all those studying or practising 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""
Description:
""Since the first edition of this book was published in 1982, 'Treatment of Cancer' has become a standard text for postgraduate physicians in the UK and abroad, providing all the information necessary for modern cancer management in a comprehensive but accessible volume. By inviting experts from a number of different disciplines to share their knowledge the editors have succeeded in delivering a truly integrated approach to the care of the patient with cancer.
The fourth edition adopts the successful structure of previous editions, while being thoroughly revised and updated throughout. Part One considers the scientific basis and fundamental principles underlying cancer treatment and examines the likely developments that will occur over the next decade a the leading edge of oncology. Part Two, the principal section of the book, uses a system-based approach to cover the clinical aspects and management plans for the whole spectrum of malignant disease. Part Three provides further information on specific aspects of cancer management including radiotherapy techniques and delivery, the development of continuing care philosophies, the use of complementary therapies as an adjunct to orthodox medicine and the important area of palliation and end of life care.
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.""
