About

Overview

Oncology In Primary Care is for primary care clinicians who need practical and concise information on caring for their patients with cancer.

Each chapter also includes an abundance of figures and tables to help clinicians find quick answers to questions commonly encountered in the primary care setting. Plus, a companion website is available allowing easy accessibility to the content.
