Principles and Practice of Cancer Infectious Diseases is a comprehensive and insightful work dedicated to elucidating the problem of infections in cancer patients. This essential volume reviews common and less often encountered infections, while establishing the difficulties behind preventing, diagnosing, and treating infectious diseases in cancer patients. Key sections are devoted to the presentation of clinical symptoms and the identification of major etiologic agents. A cadre of leading clinicians provide a detailed assessment of the risk factors for various infections, critical strategies in preventing and managing infections, and study of the interactions between the pathogen and host's immune function and inflammatory response. With its in-depth knowledge and concise treatment of the distinct facets of infections in cancer patients, this volume is an indispensible tool for all infectious disease specialists and clinical oncologists.
This book is intended to provide a comprehensive update on recent Infectious Diseases-related issues and emerging concerns with relevant (but succinct) background information. The emphasis will remain on real (Infectious Disease) clinical problems faced in this particular patient population. The last Section will represent strategies used to prevent infections, for patients in whom response to conventional preventive measures may not be as effective as in a non-cancer and non-Stem Cell Transplant population.
