The second section presents authoritative descriptions of the various forms of cancer that are relevant to the specialty of medical oncology, prepared by internationally-recognized experts. The final section deals with supportive care measures that are essential to effective and comprehensive medical management of the multitude of complications that accompany cancer and its treatment, as well as special considerations for individual groups of caregivers and specific populations.
