Synopsis

This volume is a personal account of contemporary cancer management. It gives a thorough working knowledge of the principles of diagnosis, staging and treatment of the disease, and is biased towards areas of growth, controversy and developments. The chapters review the mechanisms of tumour development, cancer treatment and supportive care, and the principles of management of the major cancers. The pathology, mode of spread, clinical presentation, staging and radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment of each tumour are detailed, and the principles of surgery outlined. This second edition follows the same format as the first. There are nine general chapters introducing cancer biology, the principles of cancer treatment, staging, supportive care, paraneoplastic syndromes. Sixteen site-specific chapters follow. Each contain a discussion of aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, staging and management.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"...a comprehensive overview of the principles and practice of cancer management. It is an extremely readable book and it is easy to dip in to a chapter to refresh and update one′s knowledge." Palliative Medicine

"This book is exactly what was needed. It is aimed at a wide audience – not only clinical oncologists but also physicians, gynaecologists, general practitioners and even medical students. The key to the book′s success lies in a wealth of concise detail written with clarity, balance and common sense...All in all this book is destined to become a classic." The Lancet on previous edition
