How should surgeons deal
with cancer patients? The
cornerstone of effective
treatment is a
multidisciplinary
collaboration between
many specialties in which
surgeons are not only
concerned about operative
accessibility and
technique but rather have
a deep understanding of
the fundamental biology
of the malignancy they
are dealing with and
appreciate the reach of
multi-modal treatment.
This handbook is a
practical reference for
today's surgeons who
actively manage cancer
patients in both the
acute and out-patient
setting. It covers all
the key areas, from
initial presentation and
diagnosis, investigation
and staging, to active
discussion in
collaborative
multidisciplinary cancer
network meetings,
operative management,
post-operative care, and
long term surveillance
and palliation. Drawing
together all the varied
guidelines and source
materials that form the
basis of this complex
subject, it is the first
surgical oncology text
that provides instant
access to detailed
clinical algorithms and
operative techniques
covering the wide range
of cancers that general
surgeons encounter, from
GI tract to breast and
endocrine cancers.
Consistently sourced from
current evidence based
guidelines with a concise
summary of underlying
pathology and molecular
biology, Surgical
Oncology will enable the
reader to knowledgably
manage cancer patients
from initial assessment
to long term
surveillance. It is an
essential accompaniment
for all higher surgical
trainees from MRCS to the
exit FRCS and EBSQ exams,
and will be particularly
useful for trainees
rotating between surgical
subspecialties, as well
as having wide appeal to
other members of the
multidisciplinary team.

Cardiovascular disease is
one of the most common
causes of premature death
throughout the developed
world and it is also
rapidly increasing in the
developing world. The
condition significantly
impacts on every aspect
of the patient's life.
Additionally many
patients who have
concurrent health
problems may require
cardiac management whilst
undergoing other
specialist treatments.
Patients with cardiac
disease are managed
across a variety of
settings, from acute
tertiary specialist
centres, to general
medical wards and in
primary care. The Oxford
Handbook of Cardiac
Nursing provides a
systematic account of the
main areas of cardiac
nursing including
assessment,
investigation,
treatment,
rehabilitation, and
pharmacological
interventions. Although a
large part of the
handbook focuses on
caring for patients with
coronary heart disease,
many other cardiovascular
problems such as valvular
heart disease,
congenital heart disease,
and cardiomyopathies are
covered. The book is
clearly laid out with one
topic per page, and
written in an easily
readable note-based
style. Blank pages for
writing notes,
observations and local
protocols allow the
handbook to be customised
to meet local needs. All
this is available in a
handy, pocket-sized book
with hard-wearing plastic
covers. Written by
practising nurses and
subject experts, the
Oxford Handbook of
Cardiac Nursing is a
unique and invaluable
companion for novice and
experienced
practitioners, and for
all health care
professionals who are
involved in the care of
cardiac patients in all
settings. The size of

Epilepsy is one of the
most common neurological
disorders, with a
prevalence of 4-10/1000
and an incidence of
50-70/100, 000 per year.
It is often life-long,
can appear at any age and
includes a diverse group
of neurological
disorders, which present
considerable challenges
in diagnosis and
management. Therefore,
it is a condition that

geriatricians as well as
allied health

nurses (in particular
epilepsy specialist
nurses), EEG
technicians,
neuropsychologists and
researchers with an
interest in epilepsy. The
diversity of epilepsy
syndromes makes it
difficult to achieve an
adequate level of
knowledge and expertise
in their management.
Epilepsy is a
comprehensive handbook
which guides the reader
though all aspects of
epilepsy, both practical
and academic, covering
all aspects of diagnosis
and management of the
patient with epilepsy in
a clear, concise and
practical fashion. The
book appeals to a wide
audience by teaching a
simple but highly
practical method to
approaching the
classification and
diagnosis of epilepsy,
and then provides
patient-centred
information on
pharmacological and
non-pharmacological
management.
