Peter Haskell, the debonair star of Five Days in Paris, has it all: a beautiful wife, three children, and a dreamy job. He's a magnate at one of the world's largest pharmaceutical conglomerates, Viotec, on the brink of revolutionizing cancer treatment. "It would be Peter's one major contribution to the human race," says the narrator--and if he can get it on the fast track toward approval by the Food and Drug Administration, he can mitigate the hell of chemotherapy for patients worldwide. Heady stuff, but it's nothing compared to what Peter finds in Paris at his favorite hotel, the Ritz, which he likens to heaven.
The second edition of Cancer Chemotherapy addresses this rapidly advancing treatment modality. The beginning practitioner will value the basic principles of chemotherapy administration and coverage of chemotherapeutic agents. The advanced practitioner will appreciate its comprehensiveness. The nursing process, including nursing diagnosis and care plans, continues as the main focus. Tables and illustrations also make Cancer Chemotherapy an excellent reference.
