Academicians Li Jieshou and Fan Daiming of the Chinese Academy of Engineering have written the preface for the book. Each year, there are over 1.2 million new cases of malignant tumors in our country. On one hand, tumor physicians are facing increasing treatment demands from a large number of tumor patients; on the other hand, despite the continuous emergence of new technologies, drugs, and therapies for tumor treatment, there are still many cases where the efficacy of malignant tumors is not ideal. The reason lies in the limitations in the understanding of malignant tumors and the excessive or insufficient treatment, which results in a significant number of tumor patients not receiving standardized treatment. Currently, clinical medicine is undergoing a transition from traditional empirical medicine to evidence-based medicine. Evidence-based medicine is defined as "the careful, accurate, and wise application of the best available research evidence to determine patient treatment measures." Experts believe that the publication of Evidence-Based Tumor Therapy will serve as a valuable reference for clinical tumor physicians in their practice. Similarly, it will also benefit tumor patients and their families. This book is a comprehensive monograph on tumor treatment from the perspective of evidence-based medicine, with a total of 19 chapters and over 1.4 million words. It includes the concepts and basic principles of evidence-based tumor therapy, the theoretical foundation of tumor-sparing treatment methods, the principles and methods of treatment for various common malignant tumors and their complications, nutritional and supportive therapy for tumors, tumor nursing and perioperative management, as well as the application of meta-analysis in evidence-based tumor therapy. The book features up-to-date information, rich and detailed content, and significant clinical practical value, making it an important reference for clinical workers and graduate students in the field of oncology and related disciplines.
