Practical Approaches to Cancer Invasion and Metastases
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-84887-2 (ISBN)
The book describes practical approaches which can be adopted in the treatment of cancer invasion and metastasis. It is a compendium of the responses given by oncologists to specific patient histories, and is innovative in its discussion of decision making in the management of metastatic disease on the basis of individual cases. One of the book's special features is its didactic approach: expert radiation oncologists present individual case studies, showing how patients can be treated in a more effective and logical way.
