Aesthetic Treatments for the Oncology Patient

Oncological Aesthetic Medicine, edited by Paloma Tejero and Hernán Pinto, addresses the crucial role of aesthetic care in supporting the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of cancer patients. Recognizing that cancer treatment often causes visible changes to skin, nails, hair, and overall appearance, this comprehensive volume guides physicians in helping patients restore confidence, improve quality of life, and enhance resilience throughout treatment and recovery. It combines clinical expertise, practical guidance, and evidence-based strategies for integrating aesthetic interventions safely into oncological care.
