The text is written by recognised cancernursing experts from throughout Europe who collectively are involved in shaping the future of cancer nursing across the continent. Key text for those engaging in postgraduate studies on practicing at an advanced level. Unique European text for cancer nurses wishing to develop expert knowledge Produced under the auspices of EONS
