A SERIES OF WELL-DOCUMENTED ANALYSES

"Clinical Oncology: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach for Physicians & Students" did a thorough analyses of all aspects of general oncology. It is complete, comprehensive, and very reliable for evaluating and managing cancerous growths.This book's well-arranged chapters provide detailed information on the pathology of several types of malignant tumours, before going ahead with their respective diagnosis, management and treatment. Its overview is sound and clear: a useful tool that every oncologist, G.P., or student would cherish.The included CD-ROM is a big plus: especially for those who need something portable to lug around.

Excellent source book for basic information about cancer

While I have used this book for several years as a source book to understand specific kinds of cancer I only regret that there has not as yet been an updated version. Not only have there been new chemotherapeutic agents in use, there are also many new diagnostic tools. In the field of medicine six or seven years is an eternity, especially for cancer and related conditions.

Excellent! Concise and comprehensive.

This paperback book is an excellent reference for physicians, medical students, nurses, medical librarians, pharmacists who want a concise, comprehensive oncology reference. Chapters cover the basics principles of chemotherapy, radiology, surgery, and cancer diagnosis. Other chapters cover related- issues such as pain control and late effects. Chapters covering each type of cancer include information on the epidemiology/etiology, detection/diagnosis, classification, treatment and prognosis. The only shortcoming is that the book is somewhat outdated. One can only hope that a new edition is in the works! Sally Lopez, RN, Medical Information Specialist slopez@erols.com
