Dalla quarta di copertina

The UICC Manual of Clinical Oncology, Eighth Edition, published with the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), updates and enhances the previous, authoritative edition. Edited by world-renowned practicing oncologists, the UICC Manual of Clinical Oncology provides essential information on cancer detection, identification, diagnosis, and treatment.

The UICC Manual of Clinical Oncology covers such broad subjects as the basic science of cancer, specific cancers as defined by anatomical location, and quality of life issues. The first section of the text includes chapters on the cellular and molecular biology of cancer; cancer genetics, focusing on genomics, proteomics, and microarray analysis; and expanded coverage on cancer staging and prognostic factors. The second section provides a summary of each treatment modality and contains detailed chapters focusing on cancers by anatomical site. Each anatomic chapter integrates the new 2003 cancer staging classifications, as approved by both UICC and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). The final section includes overviews of AIDS-related malignancies, pediatric oncology, and oncologic emergencies.

Oncologists, oncologists-in-training, nurses working with cancer patients, and other health professionals responsible for treating and caring for those with cancer around the world will find the UICC Manual of Clinical Oncology, Eighth Edition to be a comprehensive resource.
