Customer Reviews

Excellent reference guide

I found the book to be a complete, concise reference that was easy to read and an excellent resource. A small book but well worth the money.

Very informative and concise

The Cancer Chemotherapy Handbook has been extremely useful to me in doing preclinical laboratory work, which requires a working knowledge of current clinical practice. Sections include an alphabetically arranged section of chemotherapy drugs and biological response modifiers with detailed descriptions, a section of current treatment protocols arranged by cancer type, and sections on pain, toxicity, etc. in addition to useful tables. All of this information comes in a small paperback making it very convenient to carry with you.

The Bible of Chemotherapy

This continues to be the premiere source for chemotherapy information. It is very well organized and easy to navigate. All the information is current and timely. The compact size makes it easy to take with you for use whenever it is needed.
