Great oncology book to keep in the practice April 16, 2008
This book is not so much for the preclinical students, or those who have nothing to do with oncology as its very in depth. It is however ideal for anyone with an interest in oncology or for a practice to keep in their branch as reference. It is written with the latest research, and each chapter has meticulous referencing to original studies and papers. The book is littered with colour photographs from FNA photographs to gross images of the lesions you might see. It also has tables and reference blocks showing vital statistics and highlighting key concepts and info.
It starts at the begining (biology and pathogenesis of cancer) and moves through to specific variations of cancers common in small animal surgery. Its chapter on the diagnostic imaging of oncology has 38 pictures varying from x rays, ultrasound and MRI to MVCT! The cytological diagnosis chapter again has micrographs of the standard signs of cancer and is useful for understand the broader signs to look for under the microscope.
It covers the latest radio and chemotherapy techniques, discusses over gene therapy and other cancer treatment modalities, and (something i didnt expect) chapters on counselling owners and providing high quality palliative care for patients.
And almost 500 pages of specific cancers and tumours.
A great book.
