Abstract

"Diagnosketch is a visual aid to explain medical diagnoses to patients at the bedside. It uses simplified images to illustrate complicated anatomy and concepts. The title, 'Diagnosketch,' combines the term 'diagnosis,' with the term, 'sketch,' paralleling the way the book combines a medical diagnosis with a simplified sketch. It includes common pathologies seen in an acute care setting, especially ones that are easier to explain with pictures"-- Provided by publisher

Abstract

"Sarcomas: Evidence-Based Diagnosis and Management provides relevant information to trainees, oncologists who would like to learn more about sarcomas, and even experienced sarcoma oncologists. This book is designed to allow the reader to not only learn the latest information about sarcoma diagnosis and management, but also to rapidly access content via the physical book or on their smart device amidst a busy clinic. Content is structured by the most common sarcoma histologic subtypes as well as by general concepts. Each histologic subtype chapter includes a case-based study in which the reader can follow the diagnostic and treatment thought processes as the author illustrates their management of a complex medical situation. As sarcoma diagnosis and management requires an experienced multidisciplinary team, we include overview chapters from each of the medical disciplines involved in the care of sarcoma patients"

Abstract

"This comprehensive book provides an overview of cancer therapeutics and covers different innovative treatment approaches for cancer. The initial chapter gives a detailed overview on cancer progression and disease diagnostics. The following chapters focus on different cancer treatment approaches, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, nutritional assessments, targeted therapy and Nano therapeutics. It also highlights the importance of cancer genomics, disease advancement, personalized medicine and psychological support for cancer patients. Emphasis is also given to the many challenges in the area of designing cancer treatment and designing clinical trials. The complete book also presents cancer management with different cancer treatment modalities, including pharmacogenomics and drug reactions. This is a unique and comprehensive piece of work that not only highlights the disease treatment modalities but also focuses on many challenges in the area of designing cancer treatment and even in designing clinical trials.

The contributing authors are experts in this field of cancer treatment. By familiarizing readers with the latest developments in this complex field, the book offers a valuable resource for clinicians. Researchers and medical students will also benefit from this comprehensive text." --publisher
