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 Lung Cancer written by Henry S. Park and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide among both men and women. Recent advances in prevention, screening and management in the past decade have led to significant improvements in survival and quality of life. Local treatments like minimally invasive surgery, radiotherapy, and image-guided ablation have contributed to improving the effectiveness and tolerability of potentially curative treatments in early-stage, locally advanced, and oligometastatic/oligoprogressive disease. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and palliative local therapy options have expanded rapidly, with new regimens showing improved outcomes even for those with widely metastatic disease. This book comprehensively reviews the evidence that has driven personalized medicine, based on a variety of multidisciplinary perspectives by international lung cancer experts.

This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways, the field of lung cancer research is leading the way in personalized oncologic care, with numerous new treatment strategies moving from clinical trials to standard clinical practice within the past 10 years; and, there are no indications of bench-to-bedside innovations slowing down. Handbook of Thoracic Oncology is a practical guide to the multidisciplinary management of patients with lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. The content highlights the applications of both conventional and novel treatment strategies to the care of real-life patients with lung cancer. Unlike many oncology textbooks that exhaustively list studies of historical or failed approaches, this handbook focuses on the application of practical, current management options to specific patient subsets and the data that specifically support these strategies. The format is open and readable with bulleted points presenting overall treatment guidelines as well as more nuanced applications of these treatments to individual patient groups. The clear focus of this book is on the question that all oncologists ask themselves every day, “How do I take care of this person sitting in front of me?” This handbook is an indispensable guide for all oncologists and practitioners who regularly care for lung cancer patients and those suffering from mesothelioma, thymic tumors, and pulmonary neuro-endocrine tumors. Features: Delivers the need-to-know points of lung cancer screening, diagnosis and staging, and appropriate multidisciplinary management for all major thoracic malignancies Provides clinical pearls and treatment recommendations for patients who don’t ‘fit’ the standard guidelines Includes specific coverage on Management of Elderly and High-Risk Patients Prepares physicians to notice and eliminate common errors in clinical practice when managing patients with lung cancer and other thoracic tumors

Download or read book Fighting Lung Cancer with Conventional Therapies written by Diego Márquez-Medina and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung cancer, the most common and deadliest malignancy worldwide, is one of the biggest challenges for modern oncology. Although lung cancer presents the same incidence as breast or colorectal cancer, it causes as much deaths as breast and colorectal cancers together. Lung cancer demands our abilities as researchers, physicians, and care-givers in a multidisciplinary approach. Genetic, biology, pharmacy, pneumology, internal medicine, radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, radiation, medical oncology and palliative care departments are essential members of the thoracic tumor boards. Fighting Lung Cancer through Conventional Therapies is the second volume of a saga entirely devoted to the treatment of lung cancer. In the age of targeted oncology, more than 90% of lung cancer patients are managed with conventional surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy only. Furthermore, 100% of them will need conventional treatments during the course of the disease. This volume updates indications, techniques, and applications of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer by an international team of experts. Included within these pages are: epidemiology and pathology; baseline and mediastinal staging; minimally invasive surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery, and standard surgery in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer; radiation therapy for early non-small cell lung cancer; the management of locally advanced non-small cell cancer; applications of surgery to metastatic lung cancer; the new role of radiotherapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer; conventional chemotherapy as well as experimental treatments and combos with targeted therapies; the treatment of early and advanced small cell lung cancer; the role of palliative supportive care; and the integration of all those disciplines in multidisciplinary tumor boards are exhaustively reviewed.
