Tumori della testa e del collo. Introduzione terapeutica nella conservazione della funzione d'organo
Lisa Licitra , Patrizia Olmi
editore: Springer Verlag
I tumori maligni della testa e collo insorgono in sedi di grande complessità anatomica e funzionale. Proprio per questo rappresentano una sfida per tutti coloro che se ne occupano. Stili di vita che non prevedano l'uso di tabacco e l'abuso di alcolici potranno limitarne l'incidenza così come la vaccinazione contro il papilloma virus responsabile dell'insorgenza di tumori nell'orofaringe. Il fine di ottenere una ottimale possibilità di guarigione con la massima conservazione delle funzioni specifiche dell'organo è stato raggiunto nei tumori in stadio limitato, mentre nei tumori localmente avanzati questo è un punto ancora da raggiungere. Novità nella diagnostica per immagini, la radioterapia, la chirurgia, i nuovi farmaci sono disponibili oggi per migliorare le possibilità di cura, ma è soprattutto la multidisciplinarietà nella decisione clinica, l'accuratezza della programmazione terapeutica, l'efficacia nel controllo delle cure che possono offrire al paziente una vita migliore.
Psiconcologia e nuovi orizzonti nella terapia del cancro
editore: Alpes Italia
pagine: 134
La ricerca sui tumori ha permesso enormi avanzamenti con un aumento delle aspettative di vita. I nuovi orizzonti si intrecciano con una visione olistica della malattia oncologica, che non va considerata solo come un nemico da sconfiggere bensì costituisce un'esperienza esistenziale totalizzante che pone interrogativi sul senso della sofferenza e sul senso della vita stessa. Il libro traccia un itinerario che prende avvio da alcune tra le più moderne tecniche chirurgiche e mediche, considera il tramite mente-corpo nel sistema psico-neuro-endocrino-immunologico, affronta il tabù delle concause psicologiche attraverso il counseling con l'esperienza immaginativa, approda agli interrogativi che non hanno risposta e che, in virtù dell'esperienza della malattia, portano ad esplorare la profondità di sé stessi, il senso della vita e della morte, considera gli aspetti etici in un approccio integrato verso nuovi orizzonti.
L'omeopatia in oncologia. Accompagnamento e cura del malato oncologico
Dario Spinedi
editore: Tecniche Nuove
pagine: 563
L'opera ha una doppia linea tematica. La principale traccia le linee guida e la strategia d'intervento sui tumori, attraverso l'esposizione commentata di numerosi casi clinici con relativo follow up. La seconda area di interesse è una "summa" del pensiero omeopatico di Jost Künzli, che riassume cioè il punto di vista del grande omeopata svizzero riguardo a tutti i problemi metodologici dell'omeopatia, realizzando quel trattato teorico-pratico che lo stesso Künzli non era riuscito a fare durante la sua vita. Si tratta quindi di un testo di grande interesse rivolto innanzitutto a medici omeopatici classici, non solo quelli specificatamente interessati all'intervento sul cancro, e anche ai medici e operatori sanitari che si occupano di terapia del cancro. Il testo offre, inoltre, una quantità di spunti interessanti su tutte le problematiche di maggiore attualità nel campo omeopatico.
