Product Description:

“Testicular Cancer” explores the various forms of the disease, discusses its detection, diagnosis, and treatment, and gives an overview of current clinical and laboratory research. This relatively rare form of cancer is seen most often in young men in their late teens, 20s, and 30s. The disease, which once killed most patients, now has a survival rate greater than 90 percent, making it one of the success stories in the history of cancer treatment. Important historical research breakthroughs in the fight against testicular cancer are highlighted, as well as important questions and challenges facing scientists in the future.

Book Description:

Oncologic emergencies can relate either to the cancer itself or its treatment. As the number of cancer patients receiving treatment is increasing and the number of clinicians encountering emergencies is rising, optimal outcomes in these patients relies on the recognition of early symptoms and signs and the implementation of appropriate therapy. This book covers the broad spectrum of oncologic emergencies in the major systems ranging from cardiovascular emergencies to neurological emergencies, bone problems through to acute pain and psychiatric problems. The acute infectious and haematological emergencies, which are extremely common and life-threatening, are dealt with in detail. Each chapter provides a background to complications and clearly outlines the modern approach to treatment. For ease of reference the book contains algorithms as guidelines for the management of various emergency situations which will be of use to the practising clinician. Written by an international team of experts, Oncologic Emergencies provides clear, accessible guidelines to ensure effective and immediate treatment and management. This book is aimed at trainees in oncology and practising oncologists, and will also appeal to family doctors, specialist nurses and individuals working in emergency medicine.
