Opis

A consultant oncologist and a family practitioner have brought together their different and complementary experience of dealing with cancer to provide primary care physicians with the information they need to meet the demands that will be made of them. With input from specialists in oncology, surgery and palliative care, it describes each of the major types of cancer in adults and children, with each chapter following an identical format. For each type of cancer, risk factors, epidemiology and demographic data are presented, with comment on diagnostic and screening issues. Options for managment are then discussed and choices of therapy reviewed, together with their prognostic implications.

Recenzje

'The data are up-to-date ... and for the most part presented in colourful and graphic format. I liked the chapter on managing side effects of cancer therapy, compressing a lot of data into a short readable essay.' - Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

'This book is recommended for hospital and other medical libraries in the UK.' - E-STREAMS
