An account of dealing with glioblastoma brain cancer, along with the information needed to survive it

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is increasingly being used as first-line treatment for ovarian cancer. Nevertheless, it is difficult for the oncologist to find a definitive text that documents both the fundamental methods required to optimize therapy and the up-to-date results of phase I, II, and III clinical trials. With this in mind, the editors of Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy have assembled a team of highly experienced clinicians and researchers to cover every aspect of the subject. The topics addressed include treatment principles, patient, drug, and catheter selection, administration guidelines, the role of hyperthermia, supportive care requirements, novel drugs, and the most recent results of clinical trials. This book will be an invaluable source of information for both practicing clinical oncologists and oncologists in training.

This book provides practicing pathologists, dermatologists, cutaneous oncologists and dermatopathologists with a reference textbook that reviews the clinical and histopathologic features of skin disorders that affect children, along with a discussion of the molecular pathogenesis for each disease as it is currently known.  The book includes a concise discussion of the clinical presentation, as well as the histologic and, when appropriate, immunohistochemical features of each disease.  The book is divided into two main sections, non-neoplastic and neoplastic skin diseases.   Each section is comprised of a series of chapters organized according to histologic findings rather than by clinical classification systems.  This will enable the practicing pathologist to browse chapters based upon observation of routine histologic patterns.  Each chapter addresses the differential diagnoses of skin disorders with focus on salient histologic characteristics. The text is richly illustrated with over 1000 colorful clinical and histologic photographs for each of the 400 entities discussed.      Pediatric Dermatopathology provides a microscope table reference for the practicing pediatric pathologist, general pathologist and dermatopathologist.  Further, it will serve as a reference volume for dermatologists, pediatricians and oncologic surgeons.

With the fascinating scholarship of The Emperor of All Maladies and the deeply personal experience of When Breath Becomes Air, a world-class oncologist examines the current state of cancer and its devastating impact on the individuals it affects -- including herself.We have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it, yet -- a few innovations notwithstanding -- a patient with cancer is as likely to die of it as one was fifty years ago. Most new drugs add mere months to one's life at agonizing physical and financial cost.In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. A lyrical journey from hope to despair and back again, The First Cell explores cancer from every angle: medical, scientific, cultural, and personal. Indeed, Raza describes how she bore the terrible burden of being her own husband's oncologist as he succumbed to leukemia. Like When Breath Becomes Air, The First Cell is no ordinary book of medicine, but a book of wisdom and grace by an author who has devoted her life to making the unbearable easier to bear.

With the huge number of studies on nutrition and cancer available, it's impossible for a person to sort through them all to come up with practical recommendations. Now, Dr. David Khayat, a world-renowned oncologist, has done that hard work for you.In this international bestseller, Dr. Khayat provides easy-to-follow―and often surprising―guidelines on what are now known to be the foods most likely to reduce the risk of cancer. For those of a scientific bent, he explains what cancer is and how it develops. Bringing together his own research with that of other major cancer specialists, he breaks down what the studies mean, which ones provide the most solid evidence, and how to use their results in your and your family’s diet.Structured by the major food groups―as well as supplements, beverages, and exercise―The Anticancer Diet may surprise you by not disparaging red meat but alerting you to find out the source of your fish and suggesting sole over salmon. While highly recommending commercial pomegranate juice, it cautions people with fair hair and eyes against drinking orange juice. What stage of life a person is at will also affect what they should consume. Pregnant women, older women, men, and children may process foods differently.With numerous easy-to-read charts and tables along with a comprehensive food list at the back of the book, this accessible, user-friendly guide helps readers realize the power in their everyday choices.

Written for oncologists, nurses, and mental health professionals, this comprehensive volume is the first to cover the full range of psychological, social, and psychiatric problems facing cancer patients, their families, and health care staff.

It offers lucid accounts of such clinical issues as how patients cope with cancer; the psychological problems associated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy; the psychosocial problems associate with specific tumors; normal adaptation patterns; common psychiatric complications and their treatment; the management of pain, nausea, and vomiting; and sexual problems. In addition to reviewing the key studies in these areas, it gives full coverage--complete with "how-to" guidance--of the unique problems of childhood cancer and cancer in the elderly; AIDS; how oncology staff cope with the stresses of care; anc common difficulties arising from legal and ethical considerations. The final sectin outlines research issues in assessing quality of life and psychosocial function and offers an evaluation of their relative value. The product of a decade of clinical experience and reearch at the Psychiatry Service of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, this is a carefully integrated, well-balanced work that includes many tables which will be particularly useful in teaching and lecturing.
