Description

We are entering a new era of understanding the lymphatic system based on important insights from experimental investigations and clinical trials. To achieve a cure, cancer therapies (whether by surgery, radiotherapy or systemic means) must be directed against the routes of cancer spread. The management of the regional lymphatic/lymph nodes, often the first site of involvement, is frequently a key decision in defining modern treatment programmes. Important new insights now challenge the basis of traditional cancer therapy recommendations. This volume brings together foremost authorities to outline the latest results in the management of the lymphatic system in cancer.
