Publisher's Synopsis
The team of authors from the Westminster Hospital represent a combined international expertise in the field of cancer surgery, radiotherapy and oncology, radiation physics and cancer statistics. It is therefore not surprising that they have successfully devised, put into operation and analysed this International Survey on behalf of the World Federation for Cancer Care. This unique survey has produced a wide spectrum of valuable information including topics such as funding, cancer incidence (relative frequency), rehabilitation services, cancer pain and psychological care. The book is therefore essential for many specialists in the field of cancer: physicians, oncologists, epidemiologists, administrators, financial planners and Ministers of Health. It is a superb contribution towards helping the world wide cancer problem.
