Lung Cancer by Harvey I Pass

Thoroughly revised and updated, this Third Edition is the most comprehensive, current reference on lung cancer, with contributions from the world's foremost surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pulmonologists, and basic scientists. This edition includes sixteen new chapters and has been reorganized for greater clinical emphasis. Coverage includes complete information on combined modality treatments for small cell and non-small cell lung cancer and on complications of treatment and management of metastases. Emphasis is also given to early detection, screening, prevention, and new imaging techniques. A new editor, David Carbone, provides state-of-the-art coverage of the molecular genetics and biology of lung cancer.

Respiratory Care, Volume 51, Issue 7 -- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in both men and women in the United StatesThis unfortunate truth underscores the importance of creating a comprehensive text devoted to what is also considered a global epidemic. This third edition of Lung Cancer clearly represents that work. The need for a top-to-bottom revision reflects the rapid evolution of all aspects of this field. With this new edition the authors clearly intended to provide us with the latest and most relevant information, and they recruited active researchers and thought-leaders to write the chapters. The fact that approximately 50% of these contributing authors are new from the previous edition is a reflection of that intention. The text is well-organized, and easy to search and extract information, helped by its detailed 26 page index. This reference belongs on the office shelves of all providers who care for people with lung cancer.
