Description and Table of Contents
Description
This third edition is entirely new, completely revised, with expanded surgical coverage and 306 contributors. The editorship has been triply expanded, the better to cover the much broader scientific and clinical aspects of modern oncology. Current information has been included on principles of imaging, interventional radiology, chemotherapy, biotherapeutics, bone marrow transplanations, surgery, radiotherapy, psycho-oncology and cancer nursing. The aim of the book is to provide in one place, a comprehensive and authoritative treatise on cancer in all its aspects - from causation and the molecular biological understanding of the nature of cancer, through the principles that underlie of cancer, together with a detailed description of all the types of clinical cancer. The comprehensive nature of the treatise gives clinicians an opportunity to expand their knowledge in all areas of oncology, organized by organ systems, including Pediatric oncology, so that the reader can understand the unique features of cancer in children. The book is intended to provide the scientific foundations from which cancer medicine is derived.
The new information about the cancer cell, the molecular mechanisms of the cancer process, and the impact of neoplasia on host systems form bedrock on which to build clinical understanding. The principles that underlie the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer are presented in several subsequent sections that are essential for a balanced and complete approach.
