Tumor Board Review utilizes the knowledge and expertise of oncology specialists to enhance learning the practice of oncology. Each of the 32 chapters follows a uniform format: a concise summary of the epidemiology, risk factors, natural history, and pathology of each major organ-specific tumor type; an abbreviated display of the relevant staging (generally based on theAmerican Joint Commission on Cancer [AJCC] Staging, 7th Edition); and several ìtumor boardñstyleî illustrative patient case summaries (representative of major stage categories of each tumor), each followed by an evidence-based case discussion which reviews the current guidelines and rationale for the diagnostic and therapeutic steps taken. Algorithms and decision tree graphics are used extensively to provide visual support of the decision process.
The combination of case presentations and evidence-based management discussions make this volume a unique tool for keeping current with clinical guidelines and provides the reader with a clear understanding of applications of new information for use in daily practice. The case presentations and authoritative discussions make Tumor Board Review a valuable resource for board study and self-assessment.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
The book that i have been waiting for !!
As everyone in the oncology fellowship training knows , there is a huge gap in this filed , most oncology books are massive and loaded with information , most of the time by the time the book is written , reviewed and printed , it is out dated in the management section.
This book is fresh and just out of the oven ! managed to incorporate the 2011 NCCN guidelines in the text ! in a friendly format and easy to read.
each chapter has 2-3 case scenarios that illustrate the major take home messages and initiate a critical thinking , the case is discussed as you go into the details of the topic and i must say , i haven't seen any book in oncology like this so far.
preparing for my ABIM oncology fellowship exam in 9 months and with my heavy duty rotations , i started using this book a long with my slightly out dated ASCO-SEP 2nd Edition and i think my investment in this book was wise and worth it !
now i will go back to continue my fun reading in my Tumor Board Review book. I love it !
Good Luck to all the exam takers ! dont even think twice ....if you are an oncology fellow then this is UR BOOK !
Read this now
From the point of view of a hem/onc in community practice, this is a great book for keeping up to date, preparing for recertification, and just bridging the gaps between journals, conferences and your existing knowledge base. If you are a hematologist/oncologist in the community, getting this right now and reading it cover to cover is highly recommended.
Easy to undertand and use
Prepares you in many differnte ways, either for the board review, and also helps you in a daily base practice.
