Bailey and Love's Short Practice of Surgery
Publisher: Oxford University Press | English | PDF | ISBN: 978-0340939321 | 1536 pages | 73.4MB

This is uniqye among books of its size. It is a worthy successor to Hamilton Bailey's original, and it remains true to the spirit of that text. It has been brought completely up to date with this most recent edition.
Now in its 25th edition, the content has been thoroughly revised and updated while retaining its traditional strengths. Under the stewardship of the eminent editorial team, comprising two editors with experience gained over previous editions and a third editor new to this edition, and in response to reader feedback, the content has been sub-divided into parts to ensure a logical sequence and grouping of related chapters throughout while the text features enthusiastically received in the last edition have been retained. The new edition opens with sections devoted to the underlying principles of surgical practice, investigation and diagnosis, and pre-operative care. These are followed by chapters covering all aspects of surgical trauma. The remainder of the book considers each of the surgical specialties in turn, from elective orthopaedics through skin, head and neck, breast and endocrine, cardiothoracic and vascular, to abdominal and genitourinary.

Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Prognosis: Colorectal Cancer

Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Prognosis: Colorectal Cancer
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1402095449 | 506 pages | PDF | 37 MB


This fourth volume in the series Methods of Cancer Diagnosis, Therapy and Prognosis discusses various methodologies for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of Colorectal Cancer. Both standard and emerging therapies for this cancer, written by expert oncologists/pathologists in this field, are included.

This fully illustrated volume:

* Presents surgical, radiological, and molecular therapies and prognostic markers for colorectal cancer.

* Highlights a large number of methods for diagnosing colorectal cancer at various stages of development, including immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization immunoscintigraphy, RT- PCR, free circulating DNA levels in blood and stool, ultrasonography, CT, PET, and MRI.

* Includes imaging technologies for assessing treatment results, and details related to colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy.

* Explains the use of anticancer agents and monoclonal antibodies, including 5-fluorouracil, fluoropyrimidines, leucovorin, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, raltitrexed, capecitabine, cetuximab, and bevacizumab.

* Compares preoperative chemoradiotherapy with postoperative chemoradiotherpy.

The technological advances presented in this volume are expected to expedite new discoveries and their translation to clinical practice. The field of oncology will benefit the most from these advanced methods, as a combination of therapies and personalized medicine will improve early detection of colorectal cancer and other cancer types.

Professor Hayat has summarized the problems associated with the complexities of research publications and has been successful in editing a must-read volume for oncologists, cancer researchers, medical teachers and students of cancer biology.
