Mussa: New Technologies in Surgical Oncology (Updates in Surgery Series)

The Italian Society of Surgery has taken the opportunity to offer its members and the medical community at large an update on new technologies in the detection and treatment of neoplastic pathologies. Progress achieved over the last few decades, especially in the field of oncology, has been unstoppable, necessitating an update on the methods used to examine patients and in turn the therapeutic protocols used in their treatment. Despite concerns over the enormous increase in the cost of healthcare, there is an irresistible drive by physicians and medical institutions to acquire state of the-art systems and to apply the most recently developed methods. 

This volume is a particularly interesting scientific publication, of great significance to today’s clinical practice. Oncological surgery consists of a moment in the diagnostic-therapeutic course of the patient. The outstanding progress that has taken place in the field of oncology in the last two decades has benefited from the development of new surgical techniques, which have allowed highly specialized oncological surgery and a surgical approach more thoroughly integrated within the context of multidisciplinary oncological treatment. Indeed, it is no longer acceptable that a surgeon care for an oncology patient without having broad therapeutic and diagnostic knowledge of the opportunities offered by other fields of medicine.
