Inhaltsangabe

Clinicians who manage cancer patients need a single-volume oncology reference that teaches the reasoning behind treatment decisions — not a 2,000-page encyclopedia, and not a pocket guide that strips the reasoning away.

The oncology textbook market has long forced clinicians to choose between exhaustive multi-volume references priced above $200 and condensed pocket guides that list treatment options without explaining why one approach is preferred over another. For residents rotating through oncology, nurse practitioners and physician assistants co-managing cancer patients, and early-career clinicians building their diagnostic confidence, neither extreme serves the daily reality of clinical practice. Treatment algorithms change faster in oncology than in almost any other specialty — yet the most accessible texts on the market predate the latest checkpoint inhibitor approvals, antibody-drug conjugate indications, and updated staging systems.

Oncology Diagnosis and Treatment Essentials is the focused, evidence-based clinical guide built to fill this gap. Written for the clinician who needs to understand cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning at the decision-making level, this 2026 edition covers the full scope of clinical oncology — from cancer biology and genetics through site-specific diagnosis and treatment to supportive care, oncologic emergencies, and survivorship — in a single, practical volume designed for both learning and clinical reference.

• Organized in six parts progressing from foundational cancer biology through diagnostic principles, treatment modalities, site-specific cancer management, supportive care, and emerging frontiers including precision medicine and immunotherapy
• More than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos accessible through integrated QR codes placed throughout the text
• Clinical images and illustrations in every chapter to support visual learning and pattern recognition
• Evidence-based treatment algorithms reflecting current NCCN and ASCO guidelines, including checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, and biomarker-driven treatment selection
• Clinical pearls, case vignettes, and comparison tables in every chapter connecting pathophysiology to bedside decision-making
• Dedicated chapters on immunotherapy, targeted therapy, pharmacogenomics, and clinical trial design
• Comprehensive appendices with quick-reference chemotherapy regimen tables, TNM staging summaries, drug dosing references, antiemetic protocols, and immune-related adverse event management algorithms
• Coverage of DPYD pharmacogenomic testing requirements, tumor-agnostic therapy approvals, and radioligand therapy reflecting practice changes through 2026

Written for internal medicine and family medicine residents, oncology trainees, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students, and practicing clinicians who diagnose, stage, treat, or co-manage patients with cancer.
