Product Description

As the effects of the underlying tumour and its therapy can make the cancer patient very ill, careful management is required if the harmful complications of the cancer itself and the side effects of the drugs and radiation are to be avoided. This volume provides strategies for the optimum management of such patients. The emphasis is on maximizing both quality and duration of life. As well as focusing on the serious and often life-threatening complications resulting from cancer and its treatment, the work offers guidance on: psychological support for cancer patients and their medical carers; the role of cytokines; and interventional radiology in the management of malignant disease.
