Download or read book Modern Thoracic Oncology In 3 Volumes written by Robert Brian Cameron and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 1035 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Thoracic Oncology is the first comprehensive publication on thoracic oncology. Contributors who are world experts have authored concise, relevant and current topics in this field. Whether one desires information regarding lung cancer screening, esophageal cancer staging, mutational analysis, targeted therapies, stereotactic ablative radiation with real-time imaging, minimally-invasive and robotic surgery, combination immunotherapy, microwave/cryoablation, or methods of early cancer detection, this set of three volumes, encompass all of the latest information in the field of thoracic oncology. A rapidly advancing knowledgebase has led to dramatic improvements in individualized or 'personalized' care of patients. However, the myriad of rapid changes has also made it more challenging for thoracic oncologists to comprehend and incorporate these improvements into their daily practice. This staggering and rapid change requires a comprehensive thoracic oncology publication designed to keep clinicians, including pulmonologists, pathologists, radiologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and gastroenterologists, well-informed and up-to-date. To meet such needs and to ensure that all areas of thoracic oncology are covered indepth, Modern Thoracic Oncology is published in three volumes.Volume 1 entitled General Principles of Thoracic Oncology provides a comprehensive introduction to thoracic oncology. Principles of thoracic oncology care are discussed in detail and include topics such as thoracic anatomy and embryology, medical evaluation of cancer patients, appropriate imaging modalities with a specific discussion of lung cancer screening, and the basic principles underlying the various treatment modalities. Volume 2 entitled Trachea, Lung, and Pleura addresses lung cancer, one of the most common and deadliest malignancies in the world, as well as two relatively rare respiratory tumors. Volume 3 entitled Esophagus, Mediastinum, Chest Wall and Diaphragm covers esophageal cancer, one of the most rapidly growing malignancies in the world and which still poses significant challenges to thoracic oncologists. Esophageal squamous cell tumors are discussed by experts from Asia where this disease is endemic and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is detailed by oncologists in the West who face this challenge on a daily basis.

Download or read book Palliative Care in Oncology written by Bernd Alt-Epping and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palliative care provides comprehensive support for severely affected patients with any life-limiting or life-threatening diagnosis. To do this effectively, it requires a disease-specific approach as the patients’ needs and clinical context will vary depending on the underlying diagnosis. Experts in the field of palliative care and oncology describe in detail the needs of patients with advanced cancer in comparison to those with non-cancer disease and also identify the requirements of patients with different cancer entities. Basic principles of symptom control are explained, with careful attention to therapy for pain associated with either the cancer or its treatment and to symptom-guided antineoplastic therapy. Complex therapeutic strategies for palliative cancer patients are highlighted that involve both cancer- and symptom-directed options and address a range of therapeutic aims. Issues relating to drug use in palliative cancer care are fully explored, and a separate section is devoted to care in the final phase. A range of organizational and policy issues are also discussed, and the book concludes by considering likely future developments in palliative care for cancer patients. Palliative Care in Oncology will be of particular interest to palliative care physicians who are interested in broadening the scope of their disease-specific knowledge, as well as to oncologists who wish to learn more about modern palliative care concepts relevant to their day-to-day work with cancer patients.

Download or read book Lung Cancer Screening written by Gregory C. Kane and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to lung cancer screening for clinicians, healthcare systems, community leaders, and public health officials with the hope of creating a more equitable landscape in both lung cancer screening and lung cancer-related outcomes, at local, state, and national levels. Authors take a new approach to primary and secondary lung cancer prevention that is in the early stages of adoption in the United States. The last decade ushered in recognition of screening as an effective intervention, but unfortunately, despite the wide acceptance of the importance of this new screening modality, nationally, not more than 5% of eligible subjects have undergone screening to date in the United States, although in some states uptake has reached as high as 16%. As is common with any new preventive cancer screening, racial and socioeconomic disparities emerge in utilization, stage at diagnosis, and mortality. Over time, these disparities decline, but consequential differences endure. Therefore, it is critical to establish equitable screening practices. The true measure of the effectiveness of any lung cancer screening program needs to be viewed through the lens of its impact on populations, including those most affected by the morbidity and mortality of smoking-related illness and lung cancer. As such, this book emphasizes a number of important public health topics, including community outreach to vulnerable populations, social justice issues, addressing stigma and fatalism in the general community, and the use of geocoding to assess a program’s impact at a population level. This book weaves traditional topics related to lung cancer screening, such as promoting initial and repeat screening, interpreting Lung RADs, and managing the follow-up of findings, into the population perspective in order to present a unified, comprehensive approach to the subject. Further, it serves as a guide that health systems, health care professionals, community leaders, and other stakeholders can use to achieve the promise of lung cancer screening.
