CUSTOMER REVIEWS
This is a gem of a book. It is easy to use, practical and informative - a must for qualified nurses and nursing students involved in cancer care. This is a great little book rather like the small book of all things medical written for doctors. Covers all the essentials of cancer nursing in an almost pocket sized book. All info easily found in a hurry and understood by both experienced and not so experienced cancer nurses. A wealth of knowledgeable contributors makes this a "must have" in personal libraries as well as an "at hand" resource in clinical areas delivering all aspects of cancer nursing care.
