Review Handbook of Statistics in Clinical Oncology / CRC:A compendium of cutting-edge statistical approaches to solving problems in clinical oncology, Handbook of Statistics in Clinical Oncology, Second Edition focuses on clinical trials in phases I, II, and III, proteomic and genomic studies, complementary outcomes and exploratory methods. Cancer Forum called the first edition a “¼good reference book for statisticians who will be designing and analyzing cancer trials. " The second edition includes over 1000 references, more than forty world-renowned contributors, and 300 equations, tables, and drawings. During the five years since publication of the first edition, there has been an explosion in the technological capabilities supporting genomic and proteomic research, which are is now firmly implanted in clinical oncology. Reflecting these developments, the second edition contains a new section devoted to analyses of high-throughput data and bioinformatics. Previous chapters of the first edition have been revised to reflect current state of the art in their respective domains. The intended audience is primarily statisticians working in cancer and more generally, in any discipline of medicine. But oncologists too will find the material accessible and will benefit from a rudimentary understanding of the fundamental concepts laid forth in each chapter. Completely revised while keeping the features that made the first edition a bestseller, this is the best single source for up-to-date statistical approaches to research in clinical medicine. More than just an update of the handbook that became the gold standard, this second edition brings you fully into the genomic era of medicine.

Review The Teaching Cases from ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY / Springer:The clinical cases collected in this book have all been previously published in the Clinical Case series in the journal ANNALS of ONCOLOGY, from April 1993 to April 1996. They are intended as an educational series, aiming to discuss aspects of current cancer management, to highlight good practice and areas of controversy and to indicate where knowledge is lacking and where new ideas are leading. As many positive comments were received on the series, the clinical cases deserve a separate publication. The cases are grouped by organ system.

Review Concomitant Continuous Infusion Chemotherapy and Radiation (Medical Radiology) / Springer:The administration of chemotherapeutic agents by continuous infusion with concomitant radiation therapy heralds a new approach in the treatment of cancer. This examination of the subject includes, besides a discussion of its scientific basis, the most promising clinical data on the use of continuous infusion chemotherapy and radiation. Thus, it is designed as an update for clinical investigators involved in frontline research as well as for practising physicians participating in the direct care of cancer patients. The book includes the latest results of this new approach in a number of tumour sites. There is a detailed description of the principles of radiosensitization for malignant tumours and radioprotection for normal tissues, and a presentation of the most recent data on the beneficial effects resulting from the administration of commonly used drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil, cisplatinum and adriamycin, with concomitant radiation therapy.

Review Counselling People with Cancer / Wiley:Counselling People with Cancer Mary Burton and Maggie Watson Counselling People with Cancer is a practical 'how to' book written by two eminent psychologists with many years of hands-on experience in helping patients and their families face, and overcome, the many psychological problems associated with cancer. The book is intended primarily for health care professionals in regular contact with cancer patients and whose work involves a counselling element. It will also be of interest to carers in a broader sense who ask themselves, 'How can I help with the emotional side of dealing with cancer?' The book explains in clear and practical terms what to look and listen for and how to respond to the psychological needs of cancer patients and their families at different stages of the disease from the 'bad news' interview to coping with the disease and its treatment, facing common communication problems, and dealing with family issues and sexual problems. A comprehensive survey of counselling is presented with discussion of the three mainstream models of counselling - psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive-behavioural. The final chapter deals with professional issues and offers practical suggestions for setting up a counselling service. Psychologists, psychotherapists, oncologists and nurses will find this book an indispensable guide for helping patients and their families to cope with the difficult experience of cancer.

Review Negotiating Disease: Power and Cancer Care, 1900-1950 (Mcgill-Queen's/Hannah Institute Studies in the History of Medicine, Health and Society, 12) / McGill-Queen's University Press:Criticism of conventional medicine is often regarded as a product of the 1960s. Before then, 'scientific medicine' enjoyed uncontestable cultural prestige, with kindly but strict doctors wielding unquestioned authority over grateful patients while 'quacks' flogged dubious remedies to the poor and credulous - or so go popular perceptions and - for the most part - received scholarly wisdom. But the very nature of cancer - mysterious, capricious, and deadly - challenged medical authority in the past as much as it does today, and in "Negotiating Disease" Barbara Clow lays to rest old assumptions about the monopoly of health care by doctors in the first half of the twentieth century. Her detailed analysis of popular beliefs and behaviours reveals the compelling logic of personal decisions about health and healing. Experience and expectation, not fear and ignorance, shaped the health care choices of both cancer sufferers and the 'healthy' public. A close examination of three unconventional practitioners in Ontario demonstrates the importance and vitality of alternative medicine. By presenting treatment options that were congenial and plausible to cancer sufferers, these healers contested the authority of conventional medicine. An investigation of government cancer care policy, particularly the activities of Ontario's Commission for the Investigation of Cancer Remedies, exposes the difficulties of defining legitimate health care and the limits of state support for the medical profession. This is, ultimately, a book about who held power in medical encounters in the past. With masterful assurance and a highly readable style, Clow portrays the disputes between sufferers and healers, practitioners and politicians, and legislators and laity that coloured perceptions of medical authority and constrained the power of the profession.
