Review

"This book is the most comprehensive text devoted to spinal oncology that I have yet encountered. The editors and authors are all well-respected spine surgeons with exceptional clinical experience in the management of spinal column and spinal cord tumors. The text is organized in a logical sequence beginning with the surgical anatomy of the spine. ..The illustrations are outstanding. Overall, this text is an excellent resource for interested senior residents, spine fellows, and practicing spine surgeons.. The quality of the author panel, the superb illustrations, and comprehensive content make the price of $249.95 a relative value for those who treat patients with spinal tumors."--Journal of Neurosurgery
