This is the first book to explain what all members of the primary care team need to know about cancer. In clear, accessible terms, it discusses how to diagnose patients with cancer symptoms; recognise when to refer a patient to a specialist; instruct patients about the treatments that they will receive; discuss patient evaluation with the referring physician; implement programs for early cancer detection and post-treatment evaluation, and more. Algorithms provide a detailed, step-by-step recipe for the diagnostic workup, helping readers to proceed systematically and avoid diagnostic pitfalls. Over 110 illustrations demonstrate key nuances of presentation, patient evaluation, and diagnostic technique.
