The 2nd Edition of Oncology At A Glance is a textbook covering cancer biology, diagnostic procedures, and clinical management. This resource connects biological mechanisms directly with patient care across clinical settings.
The volume outlines the global burden of cancer, cancer nomenclature, environmental determinants of cancer, inherited genetics, and five hallmarks of cancer. It details diagnostic procedures including tumour markers, screening protocols, imaging modalities, and staging principles before detailing active treatment methods such as surgical oncology, anticancer agent pharmacology, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Coverage also extends to managing paraneoplastic syndromes, metabolic emergencies, oncological complications, adverse effects of biological therapies, nausea, analgesia, and end-of-life care.
Each bite-sized chapter is formatted as a double-page spread combining clear diagrams with concise explanatory text. This visually structured layout offers introductory learning support for students and junior clinicians as they practice evaluating multidisciplinary patient care plans during clinical rotations.
