Sommario/riassunto |
|
Eye cancers vary in presentation depending upon geographic location and access to healthcare. Global Perspectives in Ocular Oncology offers an international platform for leading ocular oncologists and multidisciplinary specialists to highlight worldwide strengths and solutions to the challenges in treating eye cancer. The goal of the book is to provide a universal view on the management of adult and pediatric tumors affecting the eye and ocular adnexa. A range of topics pertinent to the global community have been included. Organized into seven distinct sections, this book covers international collaborations and initiatives, technology and innovations, and novel treatment strategies. In addition, it provides a glimpse into the future of the specialty. The emphasis on sharing perspectives as well as the global and multidisciplinary framework of the book are unique to the market. This work will appeal to a variety of audiences including ocular oncologists and ophthalmic subspecialists, oncologists and other specialists, optometrists, geneticists, allied medical professionals, and trainees entering these disciplines. |

Pacific Asia - from Burma to Papua New Guinea to Japan - is the most dynamic and productive region in the developing world, the result of an economic explosion fuelled by industrial activity. This is where the Green Revolution began, where more women are employed in factory work than anywhere alse; the region is also the most predominately socialist in the Third World. David W.
