Now in its sixth edition, this
highly-regarded book is designed as an introductory text on the principles of
diagnosis, staging and treatment of tumours. The new edition:
- Includes up-to-date information on the most recent techniques and therapies available
- Emphasises the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork in the care of cancer patients
- Highlights frequent dilemmas and difficulties encountered during cancer management
- Contains a brand-new two-colour design
As with previous editions, the first
part of the book is devoted to the mechanisms of tumour development and cancer
treatment. This is followed by a systematic account of the current management
of individual major cancers. For each tumour there are details of the
pathology, mode of spread, clinical presentation, staging and treatment with
radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
This accessible and practical resource
will be invaluable to trainees in oncology, palliative care and general
medicine, as well as specialist nurses, general practitioners, medical
students, and professions allied to medicine.
