Download or read book Modern Thoracic Oncology In 3 Volumes written by Cameron Robert Brian and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 1036 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past nearly two decades, thoracic oncology has evolved into a highly complex oncologic subspecialty. Elaborate multimodality treatment regimens utilizing chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and increasingly more complex biological agents, including targeted and immunologic therapies are now standard for a group of malignancies that themselves have become more complex due to increasingly detailed and discriminating staging and genetic evaluation standards. A rapidly advancing knowledgebase has led to dramatic improvements in individualized or "personalized" care; but the myriad of rapid changes also have created a challenge for oncologists to comprehend and incorporate into daily practice. This staggering rapidity of change highlights the need for a comprehensive thoracic oncology textbook designed to be frequently updated in order to keep clinicians, be they pulmonologists, pathologists, radiologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, or gastroenterologists, up-to-date in the most current care. Modern Thoracic Oncology utilizes a strategy designed to overcome the traditionally slow production timeline of textbook publication to keep abreast of the pace of change. To overcome this hurdle, we have recruited world experts, who have agreed to author a very small and concise topic (rather than a whole book chapter) so that the information can be frequently updated, reviewed, and published rapidly -- thereby keeping this book relevant and current. 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, we have endeavored to encompass all of the latest information in the field of thoracic oncology. With frequent future updates, we hope that this ambitious reference textbook will become your sourcebook for thoracic oncology. Modern Thoracic Oncology is published in 3 volumes: Volume 1 entitled "General Principles of Thoracic Oncology" is a comprehensive introduction to thoracic oncology. Principles of thoracic oncology care are discussed 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. Under thoracic surgical oncology, details regarding the appropriate choice of staging as well as surgical resection of thoracic tumors are discussed with an emphasis on minimally-invasive and robotic surgery. In the radiation oncology section, treatment focusing on planning, specific types of radiation delivery, from conventional radiation to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), and radiation-induced toxicities (and their management) are outlines in great detail. Basic tenets of precision medical oncology also are detailed including the genetic basis of 1st through 3rd line standard cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted biological agents, and immunotherapy along with specific guidance regarding immune-related toxicities. The principles of other therapy options, including percutaneous image-guided ablative therapy and photodynamic therapy complete invasive options. Treatment of cancer patients does not stop at invasive therapies, however. Quality of life issues for patients and their families are discussed as well as topics such as nutrition, Chinese herbal medicine, pain management, acupuncture, and end of life care. 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. The care of lung cancer patients is highly complex and inclu
