Publisher's Synopsis
We are entering a new era of understanding the lymphatic system based on important insights from experimental investigations and clinical trials.;To achieve a cure, cancer therapies (whether by surgery, radiotherapy or systemic means) must be directed against the routes of cancer spread. The management of the regional lymphatic/lymph nodes, often the first site of involvement, is frequently a key decision in defining modern treatment programmes. Important new insights now challenge the basis of traditional cancer therapy recommendations.;This volume brings together foremost authorities to outline the latest results in the management of the lymphatic system in cancer.
