Description
Written by experts from the globally renowned Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) in Mumbai, this book provides a crisp and highly distilled review of clinical aspects of oncology, primarily for postgraduate students and fellows. TMC Textbook of Oncology covers the basic principles of oncology, solid tumors, hematologic cancers, and special topics such as oncological emergencies, pain management, intensive care, and the impact of comorbidities. Chapters have been structured uniformly covering epidemiology, clinical presentation and evaluation, principles of multidisciplinary management and stage-wise management and prognosis. Each chapter has been further extensively reviewed by an eminent national or international expert.
This textbook is an extension of the annual Evidence Based Meetings that TMC has conducted since 2002, wherein experts have distilled the evidence for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in oncology not only on strength of evidence but also on applicability in a variety of settings. The Textbook will provide the reader with a glimpse into the clinical decision-making process at TMC, which is an institution that provides cancer care to all sections of the society.
An essential read for all students and practitioners in this field as a reference as well as practical aid in clinical decision making.
