"Summary: A Guide to Oncology Symptom Management (second edition) is a comprehensive, evidence-based resource to lead oncology nursing practice, education, and research. Each chapter addresses a particular symptom, such as pain or fatigue, or an area of impact, such as spirituality or electrolyte imbalances. It takes a holistic approach, addressing a range of common concerns-physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Some chapters also address specific populations that may have unique symptom experiences, including older adults and caregivers. All chapters provide Definitions of relevant constructs and inclusion of useful theoretical perspectives A review of pathophysiology and etiology related to cancer and specific treatments A framework for symptom assessment, including diagnostic criteria An evidence-based review of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management Delineation of the expected outcomes Recommendations for future research. In addition, the authors have provided case studies, patient teaching points, and links to useful information, such as clinical practice guidelines, ONS Putting Evidence Into Practice evidence reviews, and resources for patient teaching. All new to the second edition are chapters that address symptom management at the end of life, family caregiver burden, and distress, which you'll find most helpful given the new American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer's distress screening and management standards. Also included are emerging data related to the genomics of certain symptom phenotypes such as anticipatory nausea and vomiting. The new edition is a must-have resource for oncology nurse clinicians, educators, and scientists. Add it to your medical library today. "

"This edition teaches you an evidence-based, step-by-step process for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients based on their clinical complaints. By applying this process you will be able to recognize specific diseases and prescribe the most effective therapy. Each chapter addresses a common patient complaint and begins with a case &​ guidance on how to organize the differential diagnosis. As the case progresses, clinical reasoning is explained in detail to either confirm or refute a diagnosis. Filled with algorithms, summary tables, and questions that direct evaluation, this new edition is enhanced by the edition of 5 new chapters, all incorporating the latest research resulting in new &​ refined approaches to common symptoms encountered in clinical medicine."

"Over the past decade, PET-CT has achieved great success owing to its ability to simultaneously image structure and function, and show how the two are related. More recently, PET-MRI has also been developed, and it represents an exciting novel option that promises to have applications in oncology as well as neurology. The first part of this book discusses the basics of these dual-modality techniques, including the scanners themselves, radiotracers, scan performance, quantitation, and scan interpretation. As a result, the reader will learn how to perform the techniques to maximum benefit. The second part of the book then presents in detail the PET-CT and PET-MRI findings in cancers of the different body systems. The final two chapters address the use of PET/CT in radiotherapy planning and examine areas of controversy. The authors are world-renowned experts from North America, Europe, and Australia, and the lucid text is complemented by numerous high-quality illustrations."

"Interventional oncology is a fast-growing new field, as well as an emerging specialty. Many minimally-invasive, imaging-guided procedures seem set to replace more traditional open surgical techniques of treating solid tumors in a variety of organs. The aim of this book is to describe new interventional radiological methods in a succinct and practical form. Diagnostic radiological considerations relevant to the selection and follow-up of patients are also covered. The book begins with an overview of the basic principles of current interventional techniques, including thermal ablation, high intensity focused ultrasound, and embolization. Later chapters focus on tumors of the liver, kidney, lung, and bone, placing new interventional techniques in context by referring to the surgical and oncologic methods of treating the same conditions. With an emphasis on best practices."
