Samenvatting:

The thoroughly updated Fourth Edition of this Spiral(R) Manual is a practical, accessible guide to the management of patients with cancer. In a clear outline format designed for rapid reference, the book provides the essential information you need for fast, effective clinical decision-making at the bedside of patients with malignancies. Coverage begins with current information on nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, chemotherapeutic agents, and supportive care. Subsequent chapters focus on specific solid tumours and hematologic 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.
