Best from med student - chief resident by smileycandy (Nashville,TN)  5 Stars
February 27, 2009
I am a 4th year medical student and used this book while on a senior elective in surgical oncology. Absolutely excellent! Easy to read, concise chapters and all the information needed to shine like a surg onc wannabe rockstar. No need for a highlighter as all information is pertinent. Every medical student interested in surg onc should own, but not needed for a medical student general surgery clerkship. However, this book should be required for all general surgery residents.

New Gold Standard Handbook by Kimberli S. Cox (Arizona) 5 Stars
May 23, 2007
As others have said in their reviews, the MDA Surg Onc Handbook is well written, easily readable and a great source for studying for the boards or just quick review before a case or clinic. Our Surg Onc department uses this as its preferred text for the residents - even buying several copies so that they and the students could always have one to review while on service.
Treatment plans are cutting edge but available to the community and the presentation of controversies is helpful in understanding the topic.

THE comprehensive cancer book by Luc J.A. Strobbe (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) 5 Stars
August 17, 2003
If you are looking for exellent value for money in (surgical) oncology, you have to purchase the MD Anderson Handbook. In a compulsively readable yet comprehensive style the entire field is covered. In contrast to its title, it is not only focussing on how things work in Houston, but altenative state of the art diagnostic and treatment options are discussed. In our surgical clinic, the book has become a standard reference text.
