<p>Increasing attention is being paid to the needs of cancer patients who present acutely with issues relating to their diagnosis an management, complications of their cancer, complications arising from their treatment, or who require appropriate symptom control or palliative care. Recent years have seen substantial service development to ensure acute oncology is appropriately provided, to improve outcomes and wellbeing of patients. A team of experts in cancer care have completely revised and updated the previous edition of this book to produce a template that can be used by any professional involved in the planning and delivery of acute oncology care around the world. This title is formally supported by the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP). This highly patient-centred, readable text will be of value to clinicians and healthcare professionals, healthcare strategic and operations managers, and doctors in training, in their daily work.</p><p><br></p>
