Product Description
This handbook serves as a portable reference that utilizes evidence-based medicine as the basis for practical treatment recommendations and guidelines. Organized by body site, concise clinical chapters provide easy access to critical information. Important "pearls" of epidemiology, anatomy, pathology, and clinical presentation are highlighted. Key facets of the work-up are listed, followed by staging and/or risk classification systems. Treatment recommendations are discussed based on stage, histology, and/or risk classification. Brief summaries of key trials and studies provide rationale for the recommendations. Practical guidelines for radiation techniques are described. Finally, complications and follow-up guidelines are outlined. Appendices are included as well to allow quick reference to information on performance status scales, radionucleotides used in brachytherapy, radiation safety, tumor markers, immunophenotyping and cytogenetics, and commonly prescribed drugs. |

An Incredible Quick Referrence Tool In Your Lab Coat by Subramanya K. Betageri (Kingston, Jamaica)  5 Stars
September 19, 2009
This is an incredible referrence tool for radiation oncology professionals. Although mostly radiation oncology residents always carry this book in their lab coat, it's an execellent tool for radiation therapists and radiation therapy students. Eventhough treatment decisiion and prescription is radiation oncologist's preragative, still radiation therapists need to have sound knowledge of radiation oncology while treating patients daily. Also radiation therapy students can use this book for their oncology review

great quick reference by RadMD 5 Stars
November 22, 2008
This is a great book to have as a quick reference for major studies, staging, appropriate treatments. It was a very helpful review for the re-certification exam in radiation oncology.

Excellent handbook that you can squeeze into your white-coat by Faisal S. Vali (USA) 5 Stars
September 04, 2008
It's concise and has some solid pearls as intro to each section, lists most of the studies/trials that affect management, includes basic workup, staging tables and management algorithms/tables.
It's also useful for really basic simulation/planning pearls along with some dose constraints.
Great for morning conference prep - at the very minimum, read the relevant chapter out of hansen. The high-yield nature of the information will serve you well.
Some chapters are more high-yield than others (each chapter is by a different set of authors), as is true of any book.
You can also use it to orient yourself on the issues concerning a certain site, before you choose to memorize every word in perez, leibel & gunderson ;)
You can *squeeze* it into your white-coat.
In short, for a new resident, it's indispensable.
Haven't had a chance to check out the new book by Dr. Hafty (I just ordered my copy) in detail - but at first glance that book seems a little more verbose and thicker (will not fit in white-coat) - whereas most of the info in Hansen is in outline format.

Comprehensive, concise, but not in depth by Andrew Fong (Sydney, Australia) 5 Stars
August 23, 2007
This is very useful pocket handbook for just about every radiation oncology trainee out there. It clearly presents management recommendations for everyday malignancies, and then follows that up with a three to four line summary of each of the pivotal papers. Its only weakness is a lack of critical appraisal of the evidence it cites, but then again, if you only rely on this handbook and don't read the evidence yourself, you're not studying properly for your exams!
An excellent basis for structuring your study notes around, and for use in everyday clinical practice. Thoroughly recommended.
