With background information on etiology, epidemiology and pathology including TNM classification for each tumor, the main emphasis is on clinical presentation, investigations and management strategies. The book includes chapters on the fundamental principles behind chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene therapy, indications for surgery and complications. A key feature is an easy-to-look-up reference guide to step-by-step management strategies and drug dosages.
