5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and concise, May 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cancer Chemotherapy Handbook (Hardcover)
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.

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
