From the reviews:
„To my knowledge, this is the first book that targets health care professionals who work with survivors of adult cancer. … For investigators interested in prevention-focused interventions, this is must-read material. For clinicians involved in developing or enhancing multidisciplinary clinical programs for cancer survivors, this section also includes many excellent and well-founded strategies that could be easily integrated into current practice. … It will serve as an excellent starting point for future books on survivorship ... .“ (Kevin C. Oeffinger, The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 356 (24), 2007)
„In summary, the Handbook of Cancer Survivorship is a ‘must have’ reference for researchers and clinicians who work in the area of cancer care. The bibliographical resources provided alone make it worth the price. More importantly, this book reflects that fact that cancer research has now moved beyond issues of how best to treat and cure to issues of how we will care for those we have treated and who have survived. The editor, contributors, and those whose research is referenced are to be applauded for moving us in that direction.“ (Gary T. Deimling, Psycho-Oncology, Vol. 16: 871-872, 2007)
„If the idea is to obtain more details on general issues applied to all types of cancers, I would recommend Handbook of Cancer Survivorship.“ (Daniela Dornelles Rosa, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298: 1700-1701, 2007)
„This book provides up-to-date information from 60 scientist-practitioners and the editor, a cancer survivor. … The purpose is to compile the work of professionals from multiple disciplines in a comprehensive resource for cancer care clinicians and researchers. … The book should be useful to cancer survivors, persons living with advanced cancer, family, friends, healthcare providers, and researchers. … This scholarly well written book would be useful to the broad range oncology care professionals who guide cancer patients and families … .“ (Melody L. McKinney, Doody's Book Review, October, 2007)
Handbook of Cancer Survivorship
herausgegeben von Michael FeuersteinNot long ago, a cancer diagnosis was regarded as an automatic death sentence; today there are ten million survivors. Equally impressive is the growing number of clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving the quality of survivors’ lives and care. Yet despite this encouraging picture, there has never been a reliable central source for relevant clinical information — until now. This book, written by a cancer survivor and sixty other top scientist-practitioners, responds to the diverse needs of survivors and their support communities by comprehensively addressing the major issues in the field, from the burden of survivorship to secondary prevention.
