- Difficult areas within each chapter are summarised
reinforcing the central points and key message of each
chapter
- Describes the two common staging regimes used by all
units across the world, namely, the FIGO staging system
and the TNM system
- Unique landscape format allows each chapter to open on
the left hand side and read across the double spread,
enabling the reader to see both staging systems at once
'Atlas of Staging in Gynecological Cancer' is designed to
be used in conjunction with
diagnostic procedures between the surgeon and the
radiologist. It describes the two common
staging regimes used by all units across the world,
namely, the FIGO staging system and the
TNM system. The ‘landscape’ format allows each chapter
to open on the left hand side and read across the
double spread, enabling the reader to see both staging
systems at once. Each chapter has a
separate section on Epidemiology, Diagnosis, with
radiological plates, Management, in tabular
form, and Key Points. The book takes the reader through
each gynaecologic cancer with a short
text accompanying clear radiographic images with legends.
Staging is also shown in pictorial
form in order to aid clarity. The book will be of
particular interest to the multi-disciplinary team who
looks after this group
of patients namely, clinical and radiation oncologists,
surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and
specialist nurses, all with their respective trainees.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the current
status of all the key viruses that are being developed as
treatments for cancer. It is the first book to describe
the use of viruses as oncolytic agents, killing cells
directly, and it bridges the gap between bench research
and clinical applications.
Viral Therapy of Cancer reviews all aspects of viral
applications in the treatment of cancer, including
quality, control and regulatory issues in various
countries. Edited by three experts in the field of cancer
gene therapy with experience in both laboratory and
clinical research, this book is an invaluable resource for
both basic scientists and clinicians with an interest in
virology and gene therapy.

Much has changed since the first book Paediatric
Oncology: Acute Nursing Care (1999), therefore, this new
edition encompasses these changes in relation to the
practice itself and the evidence that underpins it.
Emphasis is placed on ensuring terminology is accurate, in
keeping with the language of the current day.
The book is divided into six sections: Chemotherapy,
Haematopoetic Stem Cell Transplantation, General Surgery,
Radiotherapy, Late Effects of cancer therapies, and
Palliative Care. There is a brief commentary at the end of
each section/chapter by a ‘novice’ author but experienced
practitioner, highlighting to the reader what is already
known and what the section/chapter adds to their current
knowledge and practice.
