Download or read book Surgical Oncology Clinical Principles and Practice written by Jonah Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surgery is the primary mode of treatment for solid, isolated tumors. It can have a significant impact in the prolongation of survival and palliation. After a biopsy is performed on the affected area to determine the presence or absence of the cancer along with the stage of cancer, surgery is performed. In localized cancer, surgery is done to remove the entire mass and in certain cases the lymph nodes. Such an intervention is deemed sufficient in some cases, while in others, treatment modalities such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. are also put to use. The branch of surgery that is concerned with the surgical management of cancerous tumors is known as surgical oncology. This book covers in detail some existing theories and innovative concepts revolving around surgical oncology. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied practices of surgical oncology and the recent advances in this domain. It includes contributions of experts and scientists, which will provide innovative insights into this field.
Download or read book Surgical Spinal Oncology written by Kern Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the expert knowledge base of the field’s most experienced practitioners in the field of extradural bone and soft tissue malignancy. Chapters include modern classification, advanced anatomy, imaging, and the concepts around a multidisciplinary approach. Since treating primary tumors requires very different strategies than those used in metastatic tumors, the book devotes separate sections to each sub-discipline. For primary tumors, the text covers both benign and malignant entities and addresses unique anatomic zones such as the sacrum and skull base which require special technical expertise. For metastatic disease, the authors address the ever-important concept of prognosis, and discuss how to answer the eternal question: “How much should we do, and for whom?”. Chapters also explore the state of the art of treatment for the “big 5” histologies (renal cell, lung, breast, prostate, thyroid), with a special chapter emphasis on separation surgery and the now-standard combinatorial care between radiation and surgery. In addition, an entire section is dedicated to evolving surgical technology, which covers the use of minimally invasive techniques, navigation, robotics, 3D-printing, and other evolving technologies for spine tumor care. Infrequently-considered topics, such as how to evaluate a lesion which may be a tumor-mimic, and how to think about economic value in spine tumor surgery, are also presented. Surgical Spinal Oncology serves to help surgeons approach difficult clinical scenarios with a thoughtful, collaborative approach that leverages the best technology and thinking the field of spine oncology has to offer.
