Product Description:
There used to be limited therapeutic options for women who developed metastatic breast cancer. However, recent development with novel systemic drugs and palliative surgical techniques, together with advances in diagnostic imaging, have given new hope for these patients and made the treatment of these patients considerably more challenging. One convenient source bringing together the various relevant aspects is long overdue. This handbook covers treatment for both the cancer and the complications that can arise from treatment itself.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Treatment of Early Colorectal Cancer
- Publisher: CMPMedica
- Number Of Pages: 163
- Publication Date: 2007
- ISBN-10 / ASIN: 9781891483547
- Binding: Paperback
Product Description:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health problem in the United States and
throughout the world. Each year, this disease affects nearly 150,000 new patients, and it is
the second leading cause of mortality, accounting for almost 50,000 deaths in the United
States. Worldwide, CRC affl icts nearly 800,000 individuals and is associated with 500,000
deaths. Over the past 10 years, signifi cant advances have been made in the screening for
and early detection of CRC as well as in the different treatment approaches—including
surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy—that are now available for patients with
early-stage CRC and more advanced stages of the disease. Without question, CRC has now
become a highly preventable and curable disease through regular screenings and early
detection, and highly treatable when diagnosed at an even more advanced stage.
In this book, we have condensed and summarized a wealth of essential information on
the multidisciplinary treatment approach for patients with early-stage CRC, and presented
it in a practical and readable format. It is critical that a team of physicians from various
specialties—including surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, pathology, and radiology—
provide their particular expertise in developing individual treatment plans for
patients with CRC. With this in mind, the fi rst three chapters review various key aspects
relating to the surgical management of patients with CRC. The subsequent two chapters
are focused on pathologic staging and the role of prognostic and predictive biomarkers
in pathologic assessment. The fi nal three chapters are devoted to an update on the role
of adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer, the integration of biologic agents in adjuvant
treatment regimens, and the combined-modality approach to treating rectal cancer.
My hope is that this book will serve as a source of practical information that can be
used by physicians and other health-care professionals actively involved in the daily care
of patients with CRC. This book should be viewed as a work in progress; our hope is to
update it in the future to incorporate

Advances in the Management of Gastric Cancer
- Publisher: CMPMedica
- Number Of Pages: 97
- Publication Date: 2006
- ISBN-10 / ASIN: 9781891483431
- Binding: Paperback
Product Description:
Gastric cancer remains a challenging problem in oncology. This book is
designed to provide an updated summary of the current status of gastric
cancer diagnosis and management and to show what the future possibilities
in the management of stomach cancer might be. In their chapters, Dr.
Hundahl provides an update on the role of surgery in gastric cancer,
emphasizing that it is now possible to tailor surgical approaches to individual
patients; Drs. Chua and Cunningham provide important information
documenting the recently demonstrated benefits of perioperative
chemotherapy in improving the outcome of patients with gastric cancer;
Drs. Mahtani and Waltzman discuss the important gains in cure rates
resulting from the use of post-gastrectomy chemoradiation, which has
made this approach a standard of care in the view of many clinicians; Dr.
Mitchell reviews the current status of cytotoxic chemotherapy in stomach
cancer, emphasizing the many chemotherapeutic options available and the
reasoning that clinicians use in choosing the right treatment option for the
right patient; and Drs. Shah and Ilson share their views of the future directions
that will be pursued in the management of this disease. These experienced
clinicians provide a critical analysis of the roles of targeted therapies
for patients with stomach cancer.
Although it is clear that in the past several decades some strides have
been made in improving outcomes in gastric cancer, it is still a fact that too
many patients diagnosed with gastric cancer will succumb to their disease.
It is hoped that this book, which reviews the most recent management
strategies and provides an informed glimpse of what the future approaches
might be, will leave clinicians with a sense of optimism for what they may
do now for their patients and what progress the future will undoubtedly
hold.

Book Description:
"This book represents something that I have long wished I could give not only to my patients and their families, but also to my own family, friends, and neighbors. It . . . provides a solid foundation upon which one can build an understanding of what might be needed to deal with cancer."—from the Foreword "Every 22 seconds, 24/7, another American is found to have one of cancer's more life-threatening forms. Ideally, each of those diagnoses should be accompanied by the distribution of a copy of Dave Visel's Living with Cancer."—Daniel J. Lieber, M.D., oncology and hematology, the Angeles Clinic and Research Center, and USC School of Medicine. "The possibility that this book could be available for oncologists and radiologists to hand to patients at the time of diagnosis is very appealing. We could help save an enormous amount of pain and financial loss."—Kenneth C. Anderson, M.D., Kraft Family Professor of Medicine, Dana-Farber Cancer Center "Living with Cancer presents a road map that has been needed for years and should be required reading for those that seek an active role in their treatment for this dreaded disease."— David C. Pulsifer, retired president, BD Healthcare Consulting (added October 26 - after catalog went to press) You've got cancer. Now what? It is one among the myriad of daunting questions that the more than 1.3 million Americans who are diagnosed with invasive cancer each year find themselves asking. There is, of course, no simple answer. Cancer does not come with a set of instructions and most people have no real idea of what lies ahead. There are, however, certain things that all individuals affected by the disease can do to help navigate their way though this life-altering ordeal.
As treatment options continue to improve, cancer has ceased to be the definitive death-sentence that it once was. While it remains an extremely serious and potentially fatal disease, today more and more people are surviving their diagnosis—at last count, 10 million in the United States alone. With these staggering numbers, it has become all the more critical that patients and their loved ones learn not how to prepare for death, but rather how to live with the reality of cancer.
In this essential, candidly-written guide, Dave Visel draws on expertise hard-won during his wife's battle with lymphoma. He provides an overview of the varieties of cancer as well as patients' perspectives on all the basic types of treatments available, from surgery and radiation to chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. Chapters dispel common myths and fears associated with these treatments as well as provide tips on nutrition and physical fitness.
Living with Cancer, however, is not a medical text. Recognizing that the disease not only changes us physically, but has tentacles that affect nearly every aspect of our lives, Visel moves beyond the hospital to provide information and strategies to help with the emotional, practical, and financial effects of a diagnosis. Cancer patients and their partners and family will find the tools they need to make sensible, well-informed decisions on questions ranging from the right time to tell coworkers to whether to travel for treatment. Because medical bankruptcies affect nearly 2 million American each year, Visel devotes several chapters to financial issues, including needs forecasting, creating budgets, applying for grants or aid, and negotiating with insurance companies. Relationship issues, such as how to deal with a difficult parent or whether to reconcile with an estranged spouse, are also addressed.
Breaking down the confusing variety of information and advice that cancer patients face from seemingly every direction, Living with Cancer provides an organized and comprehensive overview of the most useful corporate, government, and non-profit resources available. Anyone looking for help in understanding the full range of personal, professional, and legal issues associated with cancer will welcome this book. As inspiring as it is informative, it is a survival guide in the truest sense.

Book Description:
Managing Breast Cancer Risk is a single source for information needed by primary care physicians, nurses, gynecologists, as well as oncologic specialists who deal with women who are concerned about breast cancer. Its purpose is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of experts to address breast cancer risk in a clinically meaningful way. Chapters providing detailed information on individual risk factors are accompanied by a discussion of models, which integrate multiple factors for a more complete assessment of risk. Traditional strategies for risk management, including surveillance and prophylactic surgery, are reviewed, and the data on newer techniques such as ductal lavage and screening with magnetic resonance is presented. The rational for chemoprevention with selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS) is discussed, and the evidence for tamoxifen as a chemopreventative is updated. The potential for chemoprevention with newer SERMS and the aromatase inhibitors is reviewed. Finally, the critical (and often ignored) areas of quality of life and symptom management are addressed
