Synopsis

This easy-to-use treatment guide is a truly integrated, multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients with cancer. The discussion of each disease combines the principles of medical, surgical, and radiation oncology and features the efforts of 118 contributors from across the US and Canada. This fifth edition keeps pace with the rapid changes in oncology, offers practical information, and incorporates suggestions from many of the cancer professionals who use this handbook worldwide. Revisions include expanded information on non small-cell cancer, primary and metastatic brain tumors, and gestational trophoblastic tumors. Includes color photographs, AJCC staging systems, and suggested readings, and charts common chemotherapy regimens and important statistical data. Ideal for both cancer professionals and the general medical community, and for patients who want to know what their doctors are reading.
