Cancer and its Management

<p>Now in its seventh edition, this highly-regarded book is designed as an introductory and reference text on the principles of diagnosis, staging, and treatment of tumors. As for the last 6 editions of the book, the aim and scope of the new edition are once again to provide a thorough yet reasonably brief account of the whole field of oncology, focusing on the latest principles of cancer management.</p> <p>The book is already well established, having been first published in 1986 and in continuous print since then. The authors are rightfully proud of their strong legacy of providing carefully revised new editions of this standard and well-received cancer text for audiences in the UK and abroad. Oncology is a very rapidly changing speciality, with many new treatments and even treatment modalities coming on stream with bewildering speed. Besides a thorough general updating of the text, figures, and tables, the new seventh edition adds a new chapter on Molecular Targeted Therapy, making the book 30 chapters in total. This accessible and practical resource is invaluable to trainees and specialists alike in oncology, palliative care and general medicine, as well as specialist nurses, general practitioners, medical students, and professions allied to medicine.</p>

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells that may affect almost any tissue of the body. Lung, colorectal and stomach cancer are among the five most common cancers in the world for both men and women. Among men, lung and stomach cancer are the most common cancers worldwide. For women, the most common cancers are breast and cervical cancer. More than 10 million people are diagnosed with cancer every year. It is estimated that there will be 15 million new cases every year by 2020. Cancer causes 6 million deaths every year – or 12% of deaths worldwide. Cancer medicine is one of the most rapidly changing of all medical specialities. As the incidence of cancer increases and our ability to treat and palliate symptoms become more refined, it is vital that busy health care professionals (many of whom are not cancer specialists) are kept abreast of developments in cancer and its management. Not long ago most cancers were treated either by surgery or local radiotherapy, with almost no hope of success if the cancer had spread to involve local lymph nodes, or if distant metastases were present. Recent advances in chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging have transformed clinical practice. Progress in cell biology has led to a far greater understanding of the process of malignant transformation.

Now in its sixth edition, this highly-regarded book is designed as an introductory text on the principles of diagnosis, staging and treatment of tumours. The new edition:Includes up-to-date information on the most recent techniques and therapies availableEmphasises the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork in the care of cancer patientsHighlights frequent dilemmas and difficulties encountered during cancer managementFeatures the important contributions of a new author Professor Daniel HochhauserContains a brand-new two-colour designAs with previous editions, the first part of the book is devoted to the mechanisms of tumour development and cancer treatment.
