Textbook of Medical Oncology

Medical oncology has expanded markedly during the last ten years, largely owing to the dramatic advances being made in cell and molecular biology, which are increasing our understanding of the nature of malignancy. These advances have resulted in the rapid development of new pharmacological and biological therapies, and effective management of cancer patients means that the physician must keep in the forefront of this progress.
This text, edited by three leading European medical oncologists, and containing contributions from a strong international authorship, offers a comprehensive discussion of the various disease entities and a concise review of the many treatment choices. It will provide an essential source of reference for oncologists and trainees in this field.
