The field of oncology benefits from several large-scale
reference books and a host of monographs dedicated to specific
cancers. However, truly excellent practice and review books are,
surprisingly, quite scarce. Outside of a scant handful of books and
online reference tools that offer clinical response practice and
board review in a basic question and answer format, there are no
resources that offer a robust, engaging, fully referenced tool for
these vital activities in every oncologist's and oncology trainee's
work. This print and electronic book seeks to fill that void,
offering comprehensive question-and-answer style content that
covers the entire specialty of oncology and provides practicing
oncologists with a fascinating and immediately applicable
compendium of vital information dealing with a well-balanced
selection of common and uncommon cancers. At the heart of this book
is the editor's and authors' desire to overcome the controversies
and barriers to practice that usually emerge following the
appearance of new data. In every section, the user is guided toward
collaboration in ongoing clinical research - for example, via
discussions of well-designed ongoing clinical trials in each
specific area.
Developed with both the teacher and learner in mind, this book
also offers trainees and fellows an excellent opportunity to
enhance their preparation for the ABIM oncology fellowship exam as
well as for the oncology boards. It will also be an extremely
useful tool for oncologists working toward the recertification
exam. This comprehensive, beefy book includes hundreds of
painstakingly developed multiple-choice and mini-case-based
questions covering the principles of medical oncology, malignant
hematology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology. It also
contains mini-cases and questions dealing with the biology,
diagnosis, classification, staging, and multidisciplinary treatment
of cancers at every anatomic site. The very latest topics are
included, such as molecular techniques, targeted therapies, and
translational cancer research. Concise but detailed answers are
referenced to key journals and books, and evidence-based wherever
possible. NCCN guidelines are also referenced as appropriate. With
its powerful focus on take-home messages from and for actual
clinical work, this book will help keep oncologists up to date,
bridging the gaps between journal and reference literature,
conferences, and their existing knowledge base.
