ABC of Cancer Care is a practical primary care guide to help health
professionals better inform their patients, manage and recognize the
common complications of cancers and their treatment, and understand the
rationale and implications of decisions made in secondary and tertiary
care.
It provides coverage of the diagnosis, management, treatment and
on-going surveillance of common cancers within the multidisciplinary
context of primary care. Individual chapters assess the different
treatment options, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and
examine their possible side effects. The contribution of clinical trials
and new advances in cancer treatment including biological and targeted
therapies, robotic surgery and advanced radiotherapy techniques are all
described. Other aspects of cancer care, from nursing support and
nutrition to psychological care and survivorship, are also covered.
Edited by a specialist and general practitioner team, with
multidisciplinary contributors, ABC of Cancer Care is ideal for
general practitioners, practice nurses, cancer care nurses, medical
students, and all healthcare professionals treating and supporting
cancer patients.
