Author Description
Neoplasias (tumors) are uncontrolled and progressive new growths of tissue. Frequently physicians caring for patients with neoplastic diseases are confronted with kidney or fluid and electrolyte complications that occur as a direct consequence of the neoplastic process or its treatments. The nine expert essays in this practical and clinically-oriented volume address the origins and treatment of most of these complications. Includes references to recent and classic studies.
