This practical guide to the management of patients with cancer provides information for fast, effective clinical decision-making. The coverage begins with information on nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, chemotherapeutic agents and supportive care. Subsequent chapters focus on specific solid tumours and haematologic malignancies, and on complications resulting from local invasion, metastases, paraneoplasia or treatment. Appendices include: combination therapy regimens for Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma; toxicities of chemotherapy; tumour identifiers and a glossary of cytogenetic nomenclature.
