Practical Clinical Oncology: A Comprehensive Guide for Cancer Care Professionals

As a hands-on review of current practice in clinical oncology, Practical Clinical Oncology provides a thorough understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies. The book is divided into two main sections: an introductory section that covers the four main treatment modalities (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and biological therapy), plus essential topics like research, oncological emergencies, and palliative care; and subsequent chapters that delve into the diagnosis and treatment of specific types of cancer, organized by tumor site or type.

To facilitate quick location of information, each chapter follows a standardized template. Moreover, multiple-choice questions are included to enable readers to test their knowledge and reinforce their understanding of the material.

Practical Clinical Oncology is an invaluable resource for all trainees in clinical oncology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, and palliative care, as well as specialist nurses and radiographers. The book’s emphasis on practical information and day-to-day decision-making makes it an indispensable tool for cancer care professionals.
