Recenzje

'Dr. Monica Wattana has assembled 'must have' information to diagnose and treat a wide variety of urgent and emergent conditions experienced by the cancer patient, providing key information presented in an easily digestible format to assist the busy clinician. Featuring 'clinical pearls' and up-to-date references in each chapter, this text provides concise reviews of clinically important cancer emergencies with which the general practitioner may be less familiar. Easy access to the numerous grading and risk-stratifying schemes involved in cancer care, alongside their acronyms and together in one source, will save users valuable time. This is a welcome aid for medical students, residents, nurses, and midlevel practitioners facing questions on ward rounds or in certification exams, offering us the essential guidance to provide superior care to the growing number of patients with cancer emergencies.'
