Description

Beginning where most oncology books end--after initial surgery or treatment--this book describes current management strategies for post treatment of patients who have been potentially cured of cancer. It deals with practical questions physicians face, includes separate chapters on each "major" curable cancer site and has a section on variations in follow-up that is based on responses from physicians in the United States, Europe and Japan.
