ABSTRACT

The growth in chemotherapy has led to a great need for all those involved to be familiar with safe procedures based on best evidence-based practice. Practical Chemotherapy: a multidisciplinary guide is a comprehensive and straightforward guide describing over 70 widely used chemotherapy regimens, helping to make their prescription and administration safer and less problematic. Checklists throughout the book are specifically tailored for the needs of each professional group involved in treatment, and are intended to help prevent potentially serious mistakes that can occur. This book is unique in its practical emphasis and will be invaluable for doctors, pharmacists and nurses working in oncology and haematology.
