In the era of personalised medicine, cancer treatment has become a model for the use of targeted therapeutics. Leaving behind the ‘one size fits all’ approach to cancer care, this book provides the practicing oncologist with an overview of the advances in treatment and an understanding of the implementation of new therapeutic agents. The book is divided into twenty chapters covering specific haematological malignancies and solid tumours, targeted and functional imaging and combination therapies. Each disease-specific chapter includes up-to-date information on investigational and FDA approved therapies which will enhance the reader’s ability to prescribe effective drug regimens. This includes combinations of therapies and therapeutic modalities to overcome drug resistance. Poised to change the landscape in oncology, the book is suitable for academic physicians, fellows, residents and students, as well as basic scientists interested in the cancer field.
