| Summary, etc. | Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology: State-of-the-Art Cancer Management offers<br/>a unique compendium of the current knowledge and applied techniques in treating<br/>cancer with a minimally invasive approach. It is a comprehensive text trying to cover<br/>all fields in oncology where minimally invasive surgery is currently used. The book<br/>is divided into two sections. Section one covers general topics ranging from historical<br/>aspects of the field to research in oncology, covering topics like residency training<br/>and includes contributions special to oncology like immunology and changes in<br/>elderly patients. Section two is subdivided into 25 chapters, organ-based, covering all<br/>aspects of minimally invasive surgery in the cancer patient in a unique way. At the<br/>end of each chapter the reader will find a section about future trends and a quick reference guide to the specific topic and procedure. More so, the accompanying DVD<br/>offers tips and tricks by experts in the field explaining their surgical approach in a<br/>step-by-step fashion.<br/>The ever growing field of minimally invasive surgery in combination with a better<br/>understanding of the consequent immunological and pathophysiologic changes has<br/>led to applications of minimally invasive approaches to maximally invasive disease<br/>processes. Over almost 2 decades, this field has rapidly evolved and there is almost<br/>no disease process and organ which has not been addressed. Despite this, oncologic<br/>diseases have always been addressed with great reservation and, for a long time, it<br/>was thought that cure could only be safely achieved with traditional open surgery.<br/>When we first talked about the concept of the book we quickly realized that there<br/>is no existing book focused on the topic. All that was available were surgical atlases,<br/>case reports, and some randomized studies, particularly for covering colorectal malignancies. There was no clear guide of how to apply these techniques with maximal<br/>short- and long-term benefit to cancer patients. Our goal was to give the reader a better understanding of how the proven advantages of minimally invasive surgery could<br/>factor into an individualized surgical treatment plan, understanding that management<br/>of cancer is always multidisciplinary.<br/>Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology: State-of-the-Art Cancer Management<br/>brings together the expertise of not only experts but true leaders and pioneers in the<br/>field. It provides clear explanations of all surgical procedures as outlined in the table<br/>of contents but is, by far, more than just another surgical atlas. Current nonsurgical<br/>therapies, future trends, and alternative procedures are discussed with a quick reference guide and a multimedia section. We hope that the unique structure of this book |
