Cancer Consult

Beschreibung

The field of oncology benefits from several large-scalereference books and a host of monographs dedicated to specificcancers. However, truly excellent practice and review books are,surprisingly, quite scarce. Outside of a scant handful of books andonline reference tools that offer clinical response practice andboard review in a basic question and answer format, there are noresources that offer a robust, engaging, fully referenced tool forthese vital activities in every oncologist's and oncologytrainee's work. This print and electronic book seeks to fillthat void, offering comprehensive question-and-answer style contentthat covers the entire specialty of oncology and providespracticing oncologists with a fascinating and immediatelyapplicable compendium of vital information dealing with awell-balanced selection of common and uncommon cancers. At theheart of this book is the editor's and authors' desireto overcome the controversies and barriers to practice that usuallyemerge following the appearance of new data. In every section, theuser is guided toward collaboration in ongoing clinical research- for example, via discussions of well-designed ongoingclinical trials in each specific area. Developed with both the teacher and learner in mind, this bookalso offers trainees and fellows an excellent opportunity toenhance their preparation for the ABIM oncology fellowship exam aswell as for the oncology boards. It will also be an extremelyuseful tool for oncologists working toward the recertificationexam. This comprehensive, beefy book includes hundreds ofpainstakingly developed multiple-choice and mini-case-basedquestions covering the principles of medical oncology, malignanthematology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology. It alsocontains mini-cases and questions dealing with the biology,diagnosis, classification, staging, and multidisciplinary treatmentof cancers at every anatomic site. The very latest topics areincluded, such as molecular techniques, targeted therapies, andtranslational cancer research. Concise but detailed answers arereferenced to key journals and books, and evidence-based whereverpossible. NCCN guidelines are also referenced as appropriate. Withits powerful focus on take-home messages from and for actualclinical work, this book will help keep oncologists up to date,bridging the gaps between journal and reference literature,conferences, and their existing knowledge base.
