EUROCANCER 2007

For the 12th year running, John Libbey Editions has compiled summarised versions of the many lectures given during the 20th Eurocancer Congress held in 2007.
For the last 20 years, Eurocancer has identified the major advances in oncology and made them available to all the professionals working in the field, in the form of short summaries presented by the foremost specialists, allowing them to be put into application more rapidly.
The subjects range from
- the most recent findings on the role of nutritional stress in cancerogenesis to the practical value of studying cancer cell lines,
- cover the most common cancers (breast, gastrointestinal, lung, urological and melanomas) but also deal with rarer tumours such as sarcomas and nasopharyngeal cancers,
- comments on the growing role played by support care, pain management, thromboembolic complications of cancer and their treatment, management of bone metastases and advances in the field of psycho-oncology,
- and points out the contribution made by multidsciplinary teams: Nursing staff, Radiotherapy technicians, Physiotherapists and Psycho-Oncologists.
In short, the 2007 edition provides doctors, researchers, pharmacists and paramedical staff working in the field of oncology with the most complete update of their knowledge available.
