This is a practical guide to the safe administration of chemotherapeutic drugs. Its emphasis is on specific plans of treatment, including drug regimens with doses and dosage schedules, which can be used alone or with other forms of treatment such as surgery, radiotherapy or immunotherapy. The book's four sections cover basic principles and rationale for giving chemotherapy; chemotherapy and biological agents, including classification, use and toxicity of clinically useful US-approved and investigational drugs; the pathology of human cancer, including general characteristics and treatment of the main tumour types; and selected aspects of supportive care for patients.
