"...[MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology] fulfills its goals of helping clinicians quickly evaluate therapeutic regimens and possibilities. Surgeons and radiation oncologists will find the text useful as a reference guide to what the medical oncologist can do and how the medical oncologist views their disciplines. The text is also of considerable help for physicians studying for board certification or recertification in medical oncology. Practicing medical oncologists would do well to have it in their personal libraries."--Journal of the American Medical Association Journal of American Medical Association 20070221 "As a detailed guide, [the book] offers practitioners a clear, user-friendly approach to the care of patients with cancer."--New England Journal of Medicine New England Journal of Medicine 20061221 "The portions of the text that summarize the chemotherapeutic literature are helpful and potentially useful to a busy medical oncologist. The graphic representations and flow charts are of high quality, are well designed and easy to follow, and are clinically useful. A number of good photographs have been provided that illustrate pathologic conditions...the Manual is well written, has extremely useful graphics, and represents a useful entry point for those interested in the management of malignant diseases."--International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics 20061201 "A multiauthored, comprehensive, multidisciplinary text with broad oncology focus and clinical relevance.
