Synopsis

Based on DeVita, Hellman, and Rosenberg's Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, Seventh Edition, this comprehensive question-and-answer review book covers the entire specialty of oncology and provides thorough preparation for oncology boards. The book contains hundreds of multiple-choice and case-based questions covering the principles of surgical oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and hematology/oncology and the biology, diagnosis, staging, and multimodality treatment of cancers at every anatomic site. Included are state-of-the-art chapters on molecular techniques, targeted therapies, and current approaches to cancer prevention. Questions are followed by answers and detailed explanations

Review

Surgical Oncology, Volume 14, Issue 149 -- "This question and answer style review book is designed to complement DeVita, Hellamn and Rosenberg?s authoritative textbook Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, Seventh Edition. Its 39 chapters, by and large, parallel those found in the textbook and contain over 900 multiple-choice questions covering aspects of medical oncology, clinical oncology, surgical oncology and haematology/oncology. Many of the questions are case-orientated and based on realistic clinical scenarios. The authors? aim in writing this book was to emphasise key points from the textbook and to provide a teaching and revision aid for both oncology trainees and practicing oncologists. I think that it achieves this goal. Up to now, there has been a relative dearth of multiple choice question books focusing on oncology and this review book will be a welcome addition for any oncology trainees preparing to sit their final examinations."
