Description
Cancer is one of the most exciting specialties in medicine. This book aspires to convey the authors' enthusiasm for oncology and provides a comprehensive introduction to the biological basis and principles of treatment in this field. The practice of oncology has undergone significant changes, driven by advances in basic science and the development of new drugs and successful immunisation programmes. As a result, cancer death rates have fallen, thanks to radical new treatments, effective screening programmes, and improved patient care. This new edition of Oncology Lecture Notes describes these advances in molecular biology research and highlights the importance of patient perspectives in cancer care. With its comprehensive coverage and learning objectives, this book is an ideal resource for students and trainees looking to understand the biological basis and principles of treatment in oncology. A companion website featuring cases and self-assessment MCQs adds to the book's value as a study tool.
