Handbook of Supportive Care in Cancer (Hardcover)

This handbook provides practical guidelines to the diagnosis and treatment of all the medical complications that afflict cancer patients during the course of their disease and its therapy. Commonly-encountered and life-threatening problems such as infection, metabolic disorders and nausea, as well as areas of dysfunction not routinely addressed, including nutritional support and sexual adjustments for cancer patients. Clinical and surgical oncologists, infectious disease specialists, haematologists, internists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists working with cancer patients should find this book useful, as should graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
