Chemotherapy quick reference manual Dr Bhratri Bhushan

This book divides each topic in six sections: Class of the drug, mechanism of action (MOA) of the drug (the "major" mechanism only), uses (only the most important ones are enumerated), dose (it's obvious that there are many schedules that can be followed with each drug, depending on the indication and the protocol being followed; so only the most commonly followed schedules are described), adjustments in renal or hepatic impairment and adverse effects (A/E) are briefly discussed. Other relevant information, not covered in the above mentioned headlines, is described briefly in the form of "notes". It can't be stressed enough that this book is by no means comprehensive. The purposes of this book are to serve as a quick reference, to keep the reader updated and as a tool of quick revision.
