MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Although pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious forms of cancers, the lack of clinical symptoms often limits curative treatment options. This book gives insight into the current understanding of the management of pancreatic cancer and considers recent findings in cancer research. It provides answers to questions of how to know when cancer is respectable, how to proceed when the diagnosis comes too late for a curative approach, and how to assess different study results.
