From the reviews of the second edition:"This handbook, written for all physicians who treat cancer patients, provides a survey of current therapeutic concepts of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies in internal oncology. ... Practitioners and postgraduate students of all levels are provided with comprehensive information on individual therapeutic strategies according to tumor staging and prognostic factors. Supportive care, pain relief methods and ethical problems are also described. International contributors summarize all aspects of therapeutic concepts in oncology." (Anticancer Research, Issue 23, 2003)"The targeted audience is the general internist, house staff and junior oncologist. ... The overall text is an excellent introduction to important principles inherent in the field of oncology and, as such, is perfect for the targeted audience, which should include medical students and nurses. ... The use of algorithms, summary tables and guidelines clearly enhances the summary nature of this textbook. ... The targeted audience ... would enjoy this summary, as would general practitioners."
