STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of Handbook of Supportive and Palliative Radiation Oncology by Monica Krishnan, Margarita Racsa and Hsiang-Hsuan Michael Yu. A practical tool and rapid reference for radiation oncology practitioners in direct patient care, the book covers the most recent advances in translational palliative care research. It is organised in a succinct fashion to discuss major symptom burdens, suggested assessment and various management options. Elsevier also announced publication of two additional oncology and cancer research books.
Handbook of Supportive and Palliative Radiation Oncology begins by describing general approaches in palliative radiation oncology, followed by a section focused on common symptoms in palliative care and their management. The next section of the book is devoted to site and disease-specific evaluation, intervention and management. This handbook offers general guidelines and management recommendations for common clinical vignettes encountered by palliative radiation oncology practitioners and supported by palliative radiation oncology research, citing concise references to support treatment recommendations.
The three new oncology and cancer research titles are: Handbook of Supportive and Palliative Radiation Oncology by Monica Krishnan, Margarita Racsa and Hsiang-Hsuan Michael Yu; Translational Advances in Gynecologic Cancers by Michael Birrer and Lorenzo Ceppi; and Ecology and Evolution of Cancer by Beata Ujvari, Benjamin Roche and Frederic Thomas.
In order to meet content needs in oncology and cancer research, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These new books, which will educate the next generation of oncologists and cancer researchers, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
