Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a fully updated and revised edition of this handbook, with new sections covering the changing context of cancer care, quality and audit of services, loco-regional administration, and managing complications of chemotherapy. This text describes over 50 chemotherapeutic agents, cytokine and investigational drugs, in individual monographs. There is an expanded cytokines section, and a new section on adjuvant drugs. The text has been geared to changing demands, and takes account of the nature of pharmacists' involvement in drug administration in oncology. It also contains improvements which make it relevant to the international community. The stability profiles (constantly referred to by pharmacists) will also be available electronically, via the Oncology Pharamacists Forum network.
