Description
The third edition of this comprehensive reference on high dose cancer therapy has been overhauled, with 28 of 50 chapters either completely updated or rewritten by new authors. This is designed to reflect the fact that this treatment modality is now the standard of care for a variety of cancers, including 10,000 to 20,000 cases a year of various forms of leukaemia, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and more. High dosage chemotherapy is now also used in advanced cases of breast cancer.
