This new work on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy is
edited by two dentists who have made pioneering contributions in
this previously neglected area. Their efforts have established the
invaluable role of the dentist in oncologic research and cancer
patient management. The editors have collected nine chapters that
will be of interest to dentists and dental hygienists, oncology
nurses, and all physicians treating cancer patients with chemo
therapeutic agents. Background chapters on oral complications of
cancer chemotherapy, the pharmacology of chemotherapeutic agents,
and principles of infection management and prevention set the stage
for more specific chapters focusing on prevention and treatment of
chemotherapy induced oral and dental disorders. Valuable
contributions to the supportive care of the cancer patient are
contained in this book. A full comprehension of this book, coupled
with an appreciation for advances in other areas of supportive
care, such as antiemetic therapy and pain control, will allow all
those involved in cancer treatment to be more successful. Peter H.
