Synopsis

This volume is a personal account of contemporary cancer management. It gives a thorough working knowledge of the principles of diagnosis, staging and treatment of the disease, and is biased towards areas of growth, controversy and developments. The chapters review the mechanisms of tumour development, cancer treatment and supportive care, and the principles of management of the major cancers. The pathology, mode of spread, clinical presentation, staging and radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment of each tumour are detailed, and the principles of surgery outlined. This second edition follows the same format as the first. There are nine general chapters introducing cancer biology, the principles of cancer treatment, staging, supportive care, paraneoplastic syndromes. Sixteen site-specific chapters follow. Each contain a discussion of aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, staging and management.
