Hematology-Oncology Therapy integrates an extensive amount of information that is critical to both office-based and hospital-based clinical practice of hematology and oncology.
Section I: Oncology provides detailed information about the administration, emetogenic potential, toxicity, dose modification, monitoring, and efficacy of commonly used and recently approved chemotherapeutic regimens or drugs and biological agents. In addition, each chapter, focused on a specific cancer, contains information about epidemiology, pathology, work-up, and staging, as well as survival data.
Section II: Supportive Care, Drug Preparation, Complications, and Screening consists of topics commonly encountered in clinical hematology-oncology practice.
Section III: Selected Hematologic Diseases provides an authoritative guide to therapy for the principal diseases in consultative hematology.
