Descriere
An oncology consultant and a family practitioner bring their complementary experiences to primary care physicians. With input from respected specialists in oncology, surgery and palliative care, Cancer in Primary Care profiles each of the major types of cancer, presenting risk factors, epidemiology, and demographic data, as well as diagnostic and screening issues. The authors discuss therapy choices and prognoses, pain management, terminal illness and provision of palliative care, and bereavement. They focus on the patients' needs, and the importance of effectively-and objectively-discussing the implications of treatment choices. This highly readable book is for every doctor's office.
