Summary
Based on DeVita, Lawrence, and Rosenberg's Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, Eighth 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. A companion Website will offer an interactive question bank for individual self-testing.
