Editorial Review(s) 

"The book covers a wide range of topics in oncology, including characteristics of the disease process, treatments (including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation), and the evaluation of treatment. Chapters are organized and concise. The helpful Key Points box in each chapter summarizes important information and the needs of the patient population.
This is an easy read for beginners struggling to understand the complicated discipline of oncology. In comparison to other books on oncology, this one is unique in its focus on professionals not familiar with the field."-Doody's Reviews
