Produktbeschreibung

There are now 8-10 million cancer survivors in the United States alone (up from 3 million in 1971). This book provides the necessary information about not only the clinical aspects of caring for cancer survivors, but also the psychosocial impacts. There are multiple resources available to serve as oncology textbooks, but nothing to provide the necessary information on patient care for the non-MD members of the cancer patient management team. Cancer Survivorship provides the necessary information about not only the clinical aspects of caring for survivors, but also the psychosocial impacts. In the post-treatment phase, the management team must go beyond the realm of "conventional" follow-up, helping the patient to intellectually understand and emotionally grasp the path ahead. Cancer Survivorship will prove a vital tool to physicians, nurses, clinical social workers and mental health professionals.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Cancer Survivorship: Today and Tomorrow was edited by Dr. Patricia Ganz, a medical oncologist pioneering the assessment of quality of life in cancer patients and one of the founders of the NCCS. ... If readers are looking for information on specific types of cancer, I would recommend Cancer Survivorship." (Daniela Dornelles Rosa, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (14), 2007)
