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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowedgements xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Modern Management of Cancer: An Introductory Note 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Epidemiology, Cure, Treatment Trials and Screening 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Biology of Cancer 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Staging of Tumours 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Radiotherapy 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Systemic Treatment for Cancer 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Supportive Care and Symptom Relief 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Medical Problems and Radiotherapy Emergencies 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Paraneoplastic Syndromes 148\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Cancer of the Head and Neck 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Brain and Spinal Cord 184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Tumours of the Lung and Mediastinum 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Breast Cancer 237\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Cancer of the Oesophagus and Stomach 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Cancer of the Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas 290\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Tumours of the Small and Large Bowel 308\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Gynaecological Cancer 321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Genitourinary Cancer 355\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Testicular Cancer 388\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Thyroid and Adrenal Cancer 406\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Cancer from an Unknown Primary Site 421\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Skin Cancer 426\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 Bone and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas 446\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Paediatric Malignancies 470\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma 497\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas 516\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 Myeloma and Other Paraproteinaemias 545\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e28 Leukaemia 560\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 585\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Medicine: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Medicine: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Medicine:%20general%20issues%20%5BMB%5D%22\"\u003eMB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52165738365208,"sku":"9781118468739","price":67.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118468739.jpg?v=1781099962","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/cancer-and-its-management-paperback-softback-9781118468739","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
