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.

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.
