This book is intended for medical students, residents, and fellows,
as well as medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons,
general practitioners, nurses and allied health workers. Complete
with case vignettes, key points, and sidebar summaries to further
assist readers using practical tips and tricks, this textbook
provides current information on the management and prevention of
cancer-related side effects, referring to up-to-date sources that
are useful for conducting further research. It also introduces new
topics, such as financial toxicity and complementary medicine, as
well as covering the new side effects of targeted therapies not
covered in the last edition. Additionally, MASCC Textbook of Cancer
Supportive Care and Survivorship, 2nd edition assembles
international, multidisciplinary experts who focus on a
comprehensive range of symptoms and side effects associated with
cancer and its treatment. Over the last five years, much progress
has been made in supportive care, helping people cope with the
symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment and addressing the physical
and psychosocial matters of survivorship prior to, during, and
after anticancer treatment. This is central to a patient's
wellbeing and the MASCC Textbook of Cancer Supportive Care and
Survivorship, 2nd edition, explores not only the diagnosis and
treatment, but also the increasingly recognized complex and ongoing
symptoms experienced by long term cancer survivors. Significant
advances have been made, designing strategies to manage the side
effects and symptoms of treatment and to prevent them from
occurring, maximizing the person's ability to pursue daily
activities. Reviews of the 1st edition: "This book reviews the
management of cancer symptoms in patients and the side effects and
late effects of treatment. The focus of the book is on supportive
care and survivorship of cancer patients...The book covers
symptomatology, medication and treatment, and system function of
patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy...Photographs
and algorithm charts further illustrate key points. This
outstanding book is thorough in its explanations and easy to
follow." (Arlenda C. Thompson, Doody's Review Service, January,
2011)
