Recenzii
From the reviews:
“The editors have successfully compiled a timely review of the management of lung cancer, focusing on the issues that pertain specifically to older patients. … This anthology is designed for oncologists … as well as pulmonologists whose practice includes older patients with lung cancer. … This is an excellent resource for any clinician who cares for elderly patients with lung cancer, although the information is appropriate for clinicians caring for cancer patients of all sorts. The authors’ well-written contributions are up to date and instructive.” (Melissa L. Johnson, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2013)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The risk of cancer increases with age and the number of older adults seeking treatment is rising dramatically in line with the aging population. The care of older patients differs from that of younger adults because of variation in the biology of the tumor, age-related variation in host physiology, co-morbidity burden and psychosocial issues, which might impact the efficacy and side effects of cancer therapy.
Management of Lung Cancer in Older People focuses on treatment strategies of lung cancers and provides guidance on the issues specific to older patients, spanning background and epidemiology, special considerations in the care of older people, therapeutics, and psychosocial considerations. This book offers a thorough review of current approaches to treating older lung cancer patients, detailing the special issues and considerations involved. The discipline-spanning coverage outlines best practice and proposes topics for future research.
The fourth volume in the Management of Cancer in Older People series, this book will be of interest to all surgical oncologists, medical and radiation oncologists, gerontologists, pulmonologists and other members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the care of elderly lung cancer patients.
