Book Description
This new etextbook, The American Cancer Society’s Oncology in Practice: Clinical Management (PDF), was developed by the American Cancer Society and is intended for a wide range of practitioners and learners. It addresses all aspects of clinical management for cancer from an authoritative, balanced, and; -where possible- evidence-based stance. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with the ebook, The American Cancer Society’s Principles of Oncology: Prevention to Survivorship.
This PDF ebook is written in an easy to understand style by multidisciplinary teams of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and other specialists; reflecting day-to-day decision-making and clinical practice. It was edited by leading clinicians in the field, and it featured a stellar contributor list from both Europe and the United States. When there is no generally accepted treatment standard, thorough treatment guidelines are offered by professional contributors. These guidelines were developed with input from radiologists, surgeons, and pathologists, among other specialists. Anyone who is interested in gaining a practical understanding of the topic of oncology will find this ebook to be a useful resource.
