This book will offer a practical guide for the surgical management of oncologic emergencies, that pose great challenges to both surgeons and oncologists. Combining the knowledge of experienced surgeons and oncologists, it describes the experience gained from daily life into a tertiary hospital.
Every chapter will be focused on radical treatment of primary tumors, metastatic disease and palliation, and will include an "Highlight" section with 4-5 key messages at the beginning of each chapter, whereas at the end a flow-diagram will be employed to summarize the subject discussed topic. Every chapter will be written by at least two authors, including a surgeon and an oncologist, to guarantee a 360 degrees analysis of each topic.
This work will benefit both surgeons and oncologists: surgeons will found in it a step to step practical tool that helps the decision making process, while oncologists will find interesting indications about how and when to involve a general surgeon into the management of an oncologic emergent condition.
