It is an essential day-to-day reference for evidence-based care in thoracic oncology.

This state-of-the-art handbook is practical and applicable to the care of real-life patients. It includes coverage of small cell lung cancer and non–small-cell lung cancer, mesothelioma, thymic tumors, and pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors in separate chapters.
