Review of Last Edition: "The quest for a comprehensive cancer nursing textbook finally has ended...The editors...have achieved their stated mission: the creation of a ready reference for educators, students, clinical nurse specialists, and clinicians...Identifies critical oncology nursing content and integrates sophisticated medical and nursing research literature, culminating in scientific guidelines of nursing practice...Authoritative...long overdue in the field of oncology care...One would expect its pages to be well worn from everyday use." -- Oncology Nursing Forum
