These defects result in an increased risk of infection and its  complications. The nature of the underlying malignancy, the  immunodeficiencies associated with it, and the treatments directed  against it are all important determinants of infection. In recent  years, the introduction of more intensive chemotherapeutic regimes and  the widespread use of bone marrow and peripheral stem cell  transplantation have changed the pattern of infection in many  patients. Furthermore, the increasing use of central venous access  devices and antimicrobial prophylaxis has changed the epidemiology of  infection in these patients as well. \u003cbr\u003e  The goal of this volume in the \u003cem\u003eCancer Treatment and Research\u003c\/em\u003e  series is to emphasize that while the management of infection in  cancer patients is common, it is constantly changing. With the  increasing complexity of these patients, optimal management requires a  multidisciplinary approach. Ultimately, it is hoped that this book  will assist clinicians in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of  infection in order to optimize care for patients with cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-03-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781475771206\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781475771206\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b102334\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 300\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358921257100,"sku":"9781475771206","price":297.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781475771206.jpg?v=1755097302","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781475771206","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
