For many years, physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists have reported signs of an inter-relationship between mind and body in the fight against cancer. This book presents the findings of leading specialists working in this rapidly expanding field. Their multidisciplinary approach is likely to appeal not only to immunologists, oncologists, surgeons, psychologists and psychiatrists, but also to medical students aware of the growing need to explore both the psychological and the physiological aspects of a given disease in clinical practice.
