In this valuable new book, a consultant oncologist and a family
practitioner have brought together their different and
complementary experience of dealing with cancer to provide primary
care physicians with all the information they need to meet the
demands that will be placed upon them. With input from respected
specialists in oncology; surgery and palliative care, it describes
each of the major types of cancer in adults and children, with each
chapter following an identical format. For each type of cancer,
risk factors, epidemiology and demographic data are presented, with
comment on diagnostic and screening issues; options for management
are then discussed, and choices of therapy reviewed together with
their prognostic implications. The concise text is supported by
numerous tables, charts and diagrams, with key points summarised in
highlighted panels. Each section concludes with up-to-date
information on current research and on-going trials, and contact
details of specific support groups for patients and their families.
Additional chapters cover in more detail major topics such as pain
management, terminal illness and provision of palliative care, and
dealing with bereavement. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed
on understanding the needs of the patient, and the importance of
the doctor being able to communicate effectively, and objectively,
the implications of the sometimes difficult choices that have to be
made. This is a highly readable book packed with useful information
and it should find a place in every doctor's office. Input from
respected specialists in oncology, surgery and palliative care.
