Standard text for cancer registrars by Book reader (Lawrence, MA)  5 Stars
January 23, 2008
While there aren't too many other choices in the area of cancer registry textbooks, I have to say that this is a practical and comprehensive basic overview of what we need to be cancer registrars. Possibly there is some outdated material now, but if you read this book, or refer to this book, you get not only information, but a guide to the logic behind the duties and procedures of a cancer registrar. It's a little pricey, maybe, but worth every penny.
