As new research is throwing up new ideas every day, the management of cancer through surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy continues to evolve. The quantum of knowledge available today is not only making the textbooks bulkier but their reading and comprehension, difficult and time-consuming.
The idea behind writing the book "Basic Concepts of Cancer Treatment" was to make available, a concise but comprehensive book on oncology which is engaging to the students, resident doctors and young oncologists. "Basic Concepts of Cancer Treatment" is easy to read and understand. I believe the students would have a better grasp of the subject after going through this book. The book is deemed to be useful for residents preparing for their M.D. and DNB examinations. The young faculty and practising oncologists would also find the book to be very helpful.
