For those physicians involved in follow-up care of cancer survivors, this new resource is an excellent guide, even if the physician's training in oncology has been limited. Picking up where most oncology texts leave off, CANCER PATIENT FOLLOW-UP describes the current management strategies for treatment of patients who have been potentially cured of cancer. The first part of the book covers the costs of surveillance and concerns of the patient and physician. The second section focuses on the various types of cancers with counterpoints from numerous prestigious international institutions. New and exciting trends in cancer research are explored in the final section. Presents practical guidelines to follow-up care of cancer survivors from the world's leading cancer institutions: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Fred Hutchison Cancer Hospital and the University of Washington in Seattle, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, and National Kyushu Cancer Center in Japan, among others. Features separate chapters on each major "curable" cancer site. Answers key questions such as: How often should I schedule office visits? What specific information should I seek when the patient returns? When should laboratory tests be ordered? How do evaluate the results of the tests? What if there is evidence of further cancer? Includes costs vs. benefits of tests and procedures, helping the reader make crucial patient care decisions. Provides comparison tables of follow-up guidelines from top cancer centers.
