• Includes a glossary of common cancer-related terms and an annotated list of internet and community resources for cancer care
• Provides rapid access to essential information needed to assist in the treatment of complications of cancer therapy
• Emphasizes prognosis, long-term effects of therapy, survivorship, and surveillance to help the primary care clinician manage co-morbid conditions and advise patients regarding therapeutic and end-of-life decisions
