An adequate understanding of cancer and its treatment must begin with an appreciation of the fact that cancer is not a single disease but at least 100 different diseases, each with its own characteristics and natural history (DeVita & Chu, 2002; Boyd, 1992). Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and concise, May 4, 2000
By A Customer
The Cancer Chemotherapy Handbook has been extremely useful to me in doing preclinical laboratory work, which requires a working knowledge of current clinical practice. Sections include an alphabetically arranged section of chemotherapy drugs and biological response modifiers with detailed descriptions, a section of current treatment protocols arranged by cancer type, and sections on pain, toxicity, etc. in addition to useful tables. All of this information comes in a small paperback making it very convenient to carry with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of Chemotherapy, August 22, 1998
By A Customer
This continues to be the premiere source for chemotherapy information. It is very well organized and easy to navigate. All the information is current and timely. The compact size makes it easy to take with you for use whenever it is needed.
