Product Description:
The Oxford Handbook of Oncology is a practical guide to the clinical
consultation in oncology. Covering the scientific basis as well as
diagnosis, it includes investigations, management and palliative care
issues in cancer. It has been extensively revised and updated for the
new edition to reflect recent advances in oncology with particular
emphasis on new therapies. It includes new approaches to diagnosis and
treatment and there is an expanded section on oncological emergencies
with practical advice for immediate patient management. The first part
covers the general principles of cancer aetiology, the key treatment
modalities, namely, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone
therapy, and the development of novel therapies through clinical
trials. This is followed by a systematic account of the current
management of individual cancers according to their site of origin.
Each chapter includes epidemiology, pathology, staging, treatment, and
prognosis. This part also contains an outline of current areas of
research and appropriate references to guide the reader to more
detailed oncology publications. The third part of the book provides
information to aid in the day-to-day management of cancer patients,
including practical advice on symptom control and the assessment and
treatment of oncological emergencies. This handbook is the essential
guide to practical management of everyday clinical situations and will
be invaluable to junior doctors in oncology, palliative care and
general medicine, as well as specialist nurses, general practitioners,
medical students, pharmacists and professions allied to medicine.
