Currently, there is no comprehensive source of information available to non-specialist physicians and nurses providing end-of-life care for advanced cancer patients at a level between specialist oncology texts and nursing texts. Two eminent physicians from one of the world's foremost cancer centers have drawn together a remarkable team to provide a handbook which covers the full range of problems non-specialists will encounter. This highly accessible text covers general principles in oncology, each of the primary tumors, and management of specific symptoms and syndromes.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"[An] excellent book...[It] is accessible, easy to read and has a comprehensive index. This book fills a large gap in the market and will be of great interest to GPs, General Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Students and both Hospital and Primary Care Nurses, for all of whom it represents very good value for money." Dr Greg Tanner, Palliative Medicine
"After reading the handbook, the healthcare professional should be able to derive a broad understanding of advanced cancer care. The information is presented in a concise, brief style that is easy to read and understand in a short amount of time. The handbook is reasonably priced and serves well as a quick initial reference to answer common oncology questions." Annals of Pharmacotherapy
"[T]his book will be a valuable resource on both the oncology and the palliative care wards." Roger Woodruff, Director of Palliative Care, Austin Health, Melbourne, Australia
"The need for such a book is based on the current state of affairs in oncology. There has been a rapid growth in the amount and complexity of contemporary cancer care ... That said, I think this is an important new contribution." Oncology
"This book does fill a gap, in recognizing the information needs of the wide range of multidisciplinary health professionals..." Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Book Description
Patients with advanced cancer increasingly receive end-of-life care from a variety of non-specialist physicians and nurses. However, there is no comprehensive source of information available to these professionals at a level between specialist oncology texts and nursing texts. To remedy this, two eminent physicians from one of the world's foremost cancer centers have drawn together a remarkable team to provide a handbook which covers the full range of problems non-specialists will encounter, covering general principles in oncology, the primary tumors, and management of specific symptoms and syndromes.
