Items related to Prognostic Factors in Cancer
Synopsis
Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Second Edition updates the first authoritative monograph on prognostic factors and their use in planning treatment for cancer patients. The text is an extension of the work of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) on the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours and their current focus on prognostic factors in cancer. The TNM classification is the most widely used system for staging the progression of cancer. The anatomic extent of disease represented by the TNM system is the single most important predictor for outcomes of most tumors.
Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Second Edition is divided into two parts. The first section examines prognosis in general and more specifically prognosis in cancer patients, including issues surrounding accuracy of measurement of prognosis, the methodology of studying and classifying prognostic factors, and the application of prognostic factors in clinical decision-making in the treatment of cancer. The second section provides chapters on site-specific or tumor-specific neoplasms and the prognostic factors associated with them. These chapters contain an overview of the relevant literature and include summaries that classify prognostic factors according to subject and relevance.
Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Second Edition illustrates the scope of the field as it stands today, and will provide perspective on likely outcomes of neoplastic disease for all physicians and others responsible for the care of patients with cancer.
