Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book reviews the management of cancer symptoms in patients and the side effects and late effects of treatment. The focus of the book is on supportive care and survivorship of cancer patients. The intended audience encompasses any healthcare professional who manages patients with cancer. The book covers symptomatology, medication and treatment, and system function of patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. … Photographs and algorithm charts further illustrate key points. This outstanding book is thorough in its explanations and easy to follow.” (Arlenda C. Thompson, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
