Practical Clinical Oncology


Practical
Clinical Oncology is a hands-on review of all aspects of current
practice in clinical oncology. The introductory section to the book
provides background information on the four main treatment modalities –
radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and biological therapy –
plus research, oncological emergencies and palliative care. Subsequent
chapters describe the diagnosis and treatment of all malignancies, based
on tumour site or type. Each chapter follows a standard template,
making it easier for the readers to locate information quickly; multiple
choice questions are also provided to enable the reader to test their
knowledge. With an emphasis on practical information which will be
useful in day-to-day decision-making and treatment, Practical Clinical
Oncology is an invaluable resource on clinical care of the cancer
patient for all trainees in clinical oncology, medical oncology,
surgical oncology and palliative care, as well as specialist nurses and
radiographers
Review
 'Practical Clinical Oncology is the right size, organized into punchy
paragraphs and covers the field. Perfect. I think it is the best book on
the subject I have seen. It moves along and is not boring. I find much
of the perspectives in agreement with my own.' A. Robert Kagan, Kaiser
Permanente Medical Center, Los Angeles
'I very much enjoyed
reading through this text ... it does a fantastic job of providing a
comprehensive yet concise overview of cancer (diagnosis to therapy) ...
this text fills the gap between the two and provides a better
understanding of chemotherapetics' Magan DeHaan, Resident, Radiation
Oncology, Kaiser Permanente, Los Angeles
