The book also addresses the controversies and problems surrounding health education programmes and screening.  \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into five main sections. Section one provides the reader with a definition of cancer and looks at the epidemiology and predisposing factors linked to specific cancers. The second section discusses the main treament options. This is followed by a section looking at the more common site-specific cancers. Each chapter in this section addresses the issues of cancer prevention, early detection, investigations and management. The fourth section discusses problems which could be encountered by certain groups of patients, e.g. management of fungating wounds, nutritional support, altered body image and sexuality problems. The book concludes with a section looking at how complementary therapies are being integrated into the main framework of cancer care, the importance of the spiritual\/cultural aspects of cancer for an individual and the complex subject of breaking bad news.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction.  \u003cp\u003ePart One.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is Cancer?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHealth promotion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly detection and staging.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding Radiotherapy and its Applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding Cytoxic Chemotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Three.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBreast Cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eColorectoral Cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLung Cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGynaecological Cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSkin Cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHaematological Malignancies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUrological Cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHead and Neck Cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildhood Cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Four.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFungating Tumours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNutritional Support.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInfection Control Issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBody Image and Sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Five.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplementary Therapies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePain Control.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBreaking Bad News.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49414093537623,"sku":"9781861561657","price":60.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781861561657.jpg?v=1730522431","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/oncology-nursing-practice-9781861561657","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
