major treatment sections is preceded by an updated, brief chapter describing
the molecular biology of that cancer and the prospects this new information
holds for the improved management of cancer patients. Greater emphasis has been
given in recent editions to the increasing importance of molecular biology and
cancer screening and prevention, as well as palliative care, supportive
oncology and quality of life issues.
