Oxford Handbook of Cancer Nursing

Practical, concise, and based on the current best evidence, the Oxford Handbook of Cancer Nursing is the essential aid for all nurses involved in the care of patients with cancer.

Review from previous edition This is a gem of a book. It is easy to use, practical and informative - a must for qualified nurses and nursing students involved in cancer care.

This detailed-yet-concise pocket guide for nurses has an outline format with small sections containing easy-to-read information that makes it a handy reference. Helpful

This book would definitely be an asset in any oncology setting...I will be recommending it be purchased by my hospital to be easily accessible in the medical/surgical units, as well as our chemotherapy unit.
