A
hands-on desk reference for the practicing oncologist – from the leader in the
field of cancer management.
A Doody's Core
Title for 2011!
The MD Anderson
Manual of Medical Oncology details the personalized multidisciplinary approach
to cancer management pioneered by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer
Center. It is intended to bring a pragmatic approach to cancer management that
can serve as a guide for oncologists around the world.
This completely
updated second edition emphasizes and discusses recent developments in
diagnostic procedures, which include the incorporation of new molecular markers
and revised staging systems. It also reinforces how imaging and molecular profiling
can prevent administration of overly aggressive, toxic treatment regimens, or
invasive surgery to treat superficial or indolent tumors. Also new to the
second edition are special commentaries provided by subspecialists in pulmonary
medicine, radiation oncology, and surgery which discuss other perspectives on
management.
To help you quickly
assess cancer management options, every chapter includes numerous tables,
diagrams, and imaging photographs. These include evidence-based treatment
algorithms in the form of flowcharts and diagrams shaped by the clinical
experience of MD Anderson’s world-class faculty. Everything is designed to
provide you with a practical guide to diagnostic and therapeutic strategies
used at MD Anderson.
The second
edition also features important new chapters on key topics such as:
- Myelodysplastic syndrome
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms
- T-cell lymphomas
- Small bowel and appendiceal cancers
- Inflammatory breast cancer
Offering the perfect
balance of narrative text, summary tables, and clinical photographs (many in
full color), there is truly not a more accessible, up-to-date, or authoritative
clinician’s guide to the medical management of patients with cancer and its
complications than The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology.
