Cancer and its Management is a personal account of contemporary cancer management by two eminent UK experts. The book gives a thorough working knowledge of the principles of diagnosis, staging and treatment of the disease, and is biased towards areas of growth, controversy and developments. The first nine chapters review the mechanisms of tumour development, cancer treatment and supportive care. Subsequent chapters describe the principles of management of the major cancers. The pathology, mode of spread, clinical presentation, staging and radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment of each tumour are detailed, and the principles of surgery outlined.
