Treatment of Cancer provides all the information necessary for modern cancer management in one comprehensive and accessible volume. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout and now includes contributions from experts in a number of disciplines in order to provide a truly integrated approach to the care of the cancer patient.
The new edition follows the successful structure of previous editions: Part One considers the scientific basis and fundamental principles underlying cancer treatment and examines the likely developments that will occur in the next decade at the leading edge of oncology. Part Two, the main section of the book, uses a system-based approach to cover the clinical aspects and management plans for the whole spectrum of malignant disease. Part Three provides further information on specific aspects of cancer management including radiotherapy techniques and delivery, the development of continuing care philosophies and the important area of palliative care.
