Manual of Clinical Oncology

Synopsis

Updated for its Sixth Edition, this pocket manual is a practical, accessible, comprehensive guide to the management of
patients with cancer. In an outline format designed for rapid reference, the book provides the essential information
needed for fast, effective clinical decision-making at the bedside.

Coverage begins with principles of cancer management, proceeds through the specific malignancies, and then focuses on
the organ-specific complications of cancer, whether due to the disease or its treatments. The unique appendices permit
better readability within the chapters by placing frequently referenced, large, complex, and detailed tables at the end
of the book. The appendices present cytogenetic nomenclature, toxicity of chemotherapy, critical tumor identifiers, and
combination chemotherapy regimens for lymphomas.
