A broad and experienced team, including medical oncologists and life scientists, have collaborated to produce this practical guide to cancer immunotherapy. It provides a compendium of best practice, including 23 case studies to act as models for professionals to make decisions, either for individual patients or as the basis for using immunotherapy across an organisation, planning area, region or country. As well as introducing all key concepts, expert practitioners provide a guide to future treatments using novel technologies, discuss key problems and suggest solutions, and consider the costs of immunotherapy treatments.This guide also makes an excellent training tool, which will help new teams and clinical staff to develop procedures, and adopt best practice. This resource is produced in partnership with the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP).

Increasing attention is being paid to the needs of cancer patients who present acutely with issues relating to their diagnosis an management, complications of their cancer, complications arising from their treatment, or who require appropriate symptom control or palliative care. Recent years have seen substantial service development to ensure acute oncology is appropriately provided, to improve outcomes and wellbeing of patients. A team of experts in cancer care have completely revised and updated the previous edition of this book to produce a template that can be used by any professional involved in the planning and delivery of acute oncology care around the world. This title is formally supported by the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP). This highly patient-centred, readable text will be of value to clinicians and healthcare professionals, healthcare strategic and operations managers, and doctors in training, in their daily work.

There have been impressive improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in recent decades. In economically advantaged countries with well-developed healthcare systems over 50% of all cancer patients achieve long term survival and are probably cured. Not only has survival improved radically for cancer patients but also there has been an increasing focus on the quality of patient''s lives, on improving the patient experience of care and on developing effective support for the very many cancer survivors. Despite the progress in cancer treatment, unfortunately a substantial number of cancer patients will still ultimately die of their disease. For many this will follow periods of successful treatment which results in good remissions and good quality of life. Helping patients to make the right choices about their care towards the end of their lives is one of the greatest and most challenging responsibilities of all healthcare professionals. Legal change on the provision of assisted dying by healthcare professionals has occurred in a substantial number of jurisdictions. This work brings together contributions on end of life choices from experienced professionals from oncology disciplines, palliative care, law, nurses and professions allied to medicine. The goals are:
To better inform cancer care professionals and the wider community about developments in choices in end of life care for cancer patients internationally. To better answer questions from patients and respond to requests from patients, including questions about and requests for assisted dying in countries where it is legal to do so. To have a balanced and well informed dialogue about choices available to patients without developing a formal policy position on change in law. To provide a basis of information for future educational activities.944 kr

The treatment of cancer in young women and men is increasingly turning from focusing purely on survival to a recognition of the long-term effects of treatment on subsequent quality of life. In this regard, fertility is a very high priority for patients. This is the first book to explain the latest techniques in fertility preservation. Chapters cover fertility preservation in both women and men, management of cancer in pregnancy, egg donation and surrogacy, hormone replacement options, counselling and ethical issues. A multidisciplinary team of over 60 specialists were involved in this work, with contributions from leading obstetricians, medical oncologists, gynaecological oncologists, urologists and fertility specialists. The book is formally supported by the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP). This highly patient-centred, readable text will be of value to a wide range of clinicians and physicians, and doctors in training, in their daily work.
