The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology is a clear, concise, and comprehensive reference book for the busy clinician to use in his or her daily encounters with patients. The book has been compiled by clinicians who are working or are trained at the National Cancer Institute and National Institutes of Health as well as by scholars from MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins Oncology Center, and other academic institutions. To limit the size of the book, less space has been dedicated to etiology, pathophysiology, and epidemiology and greater emphasis has been placed on practical clinical information. For easy accessibility to the pertinent information, long descriptions are avoided, and more tables, pictures, algorithms, and phrases are included.
The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology is not intended as a substitute for the many excellent oncology reference textbooks essential for a more complete understanding of the pathophysiology and management of complicated oncology in patients. The reader-friendly format of this book, with its comprehensive review of the management of each disease and with treatment regimens including dosage and schedule, will make this book unique and useful for oncologists, oncology fellows, residents, students, oncology nurses, and allied health professionals.
The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology 3rd Edition by Jame Abraham, James L Gulley and Carmen J Allegra is designed specifically for quick bedside consultation. It covers all malignancies and offers busy clinicians practical guidelines on daily patient management, including commonly used treatment regimens and chemotherapy dosing and schedules. The user-friendly format features tables, charts, bullet points, and algorithms. The thoroughly updated Third Edition places an increased emphasis on practical clinical information, and includes new chemotherapeutic agents, dosages, and treatment regimens and the latest clinical trials data. New chapters focus on basic genomics for practicing oncologists and basic principles of radiation. The succinct yet detailed presentation is ideal for board review as well as clinical reference.
