4.0 out of 5 stars A quick reference guide, April 15, 2000

This review is from: Lippincott's Cancer Chemotherapy Handbook (Spiral-bound)

As a Clinical Oncology Resident, I needed a practical guide to review toxicities expected, forms of administration and basic properties of chemotherapeutic drugs. That's exactly what I found in this book.This is not an exhaustive monograph text, and basic aspects(cell cycle, theories of CT, etc) are only summarized. But for the clinician, and for all those who need a quick reference when working at a Day Hospital, this is the right book.

This easy to read clearly written book serves as a guide for quick reference for the clinical oncologist. It summarizes the indications, the drug combinations and the expected side-effects. It is a resource for the busy practice.
