Oxford Handbook of Cancer Nursing cover

This second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Cancer Nursing is an essential aid to the practising cancer nurse. It provides a quick reference to the key issues in cancer nursing, and a concise and systematic account of all of the main areas of cancer nursing practice. Filled with key tips and reflection points, each chapter supports professional development for the reader. The patient, their family, and the experience of cancer are at the heart of this handbook. For the new edition there is a greater focus on survivorship, drawing on recent developments in the area. The Oxford Handbook of Cancer Nursing promotes a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, with references to current best evidence and the latest developments in treatment. Detailed guidance on complex aspects of care are outlined, integrating both psychosocial and physical care to better treat the whole patient. Written by experienced nurses, the book is laid out to enable quick access to precise, targeted information on the vast majority of potential clinical scenarios.

Review from previous edition This is a gem of a book. It is easy to use, practical and informative - a must for qualified nurses and nursing students involved in cancer care. * Nursing Standard, 2007 *
This detailed-yet-concise pocket guide for nurses has an outline format with small sections containing easy-to-read information that makes it a handy reference. Helpful * Laura A Johnson, MSN, APN, AGCNS-BC, BMTCN(Rush University Medical Center), Doody's *
This book would definitely be an asset in any oncology setting...I will be recommending it be purchased by my hospital to be easily accessible in the medical/surgical units, as well as our chemotherapy unit. * CancerForum, 2008 *
