  abstract: "Clinical Problems in Oncology: A Practical Guide to Management is an easy-to-use, compact reference guide packed with essential practical information on how to manage oncological emergencies as well as the side effects and complications of cancer and its treatment.

While not replacing local cancer treatment guidelines, this exciting new book provid…
