Inhaltsangabe:
This portable reference bases practical treatment recommendations and guidelines on evidence-based medicine. The concise clinical chapters are organized by body site for easy access to critical information, highlighting "pearls" of epidemiology, anatomy, pathology, and clinical presentation. Key facets of the work-up are listed, followed by staging and risk classification systems. Discussion of treatment recommendations is based on stage, histology, and risk classification, with summaries of key trials and studies providing rationale. Each chapter outlines possible complications and follow-up guidelines. Appendices cover performance status scales, radionucleotides used in brachytherapy, radiation safety, tumor markers, immunophenotyping and cytogenetics, and commonly prescribed drugs.
Von der hinteren Coverseite:
The practice of radiation oncology has become increasingly evidence-based, and in this setting it is critical to have a practical and portable reference. The best-selling Handbook of Evidence-Based Radiation Oncology was edited and written by the medical staff of the UCSF Department of Radiation Oncology with this purpose in mind, and it quickly established itself as a vital resource for the daily needs of radiation oncologists. The 2nd Edition of the Handbook builds on this success. Once again designed to fit in a white coat pocket, this convenient text is filled with the most important information on cancer management for all major anatomical sites. Easy-to-read tables present the most current 2010 AJCC and FIGO staging systems. Up-to-date treatment recommendations and brief summaries of key studies and trials are included throughout the book. New color figures are incorporated to reflect modern practice, along with color contouring mini-atlases for head and neck, gastrointestinal, prostate, and gynecological tumors. Concisely written, and organized by body site for quick reference, this handbook was created from start to finish to meet the needs of the busy radiation oncologist.
