A book written in French
Under the aegis of the Cancer Plan, cancer surgery is turning into a global discipline in France, aiming to offer holistic management of the patient and all aspects of the disease.
Although any surgeon can treat cancer, he or she must nevertheless address and apply disease-specific rules and concepts, as well as the techniques that follow on from such concepts.
This book aims to provide an update of our knowledge about cancer surgery, and outline all the concepts relevant to daily practice.
Surgeons of all specializations will find up-to-date details about caring for patients with cancer: horizontal and organizational tools as well as psychological issues—and of course, techniques.
