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.
