How am I the only one to review this product???Pretty good comprehensive guide to Oncological diseases and emergencies. I loved how I can carry this easily in my pocket. I like how each disease is represented within the 2 pages that face each other. The basic points are bulleted. I find the staging, statistics for survival and treatments to be the most helpful.My only complaint is that some of the abbreviations are not common place. I find myself having to stop and look up the abbreviation before I can read any further. Annoying but not detrimental.
I'm a 4th medical student as of now on an heme/onc away rotation at UCLA. If you're serious about learning heme/onc and want a great reference on the go, I would definitely recommend this book to you.Aside from the practical part of the book (solid/liquid onc and various treatments, and benign heme), one great thing is that there is a large section dedicated to basic science, including immunology, molecular pathways, lab techniques (ie flow cytometry, gene sequencing), epigenetics, etc. This will help give you an idea of what you may need to read more in depth to build your fundamentals as you go forward.There is also a large section dedicated to pharmacology organized by modality of drug, where you can refer to for side effects and dosing for various drugs. There even is a section on radiation therapy and its various modalities (stereotactic, brachytherapy, etc).One potential downfall of this book compared to the original pocket medicine is that there seems to be less references. However, the information as far as I can gather is up to date until its publication and will serve you well.
In spite the fact that I'm a book-worm-Hem/Onc fellow, I've never wrote a review in my life. What prompted me to do so is the fact that this book is absolutely awesome! Concise, will organized and has what you need to survive your first year of fellowship. If you are an attending, don't feel shy, buy it, and use it. The fact that everything in this book is evidence-based is phenomenon. You can go back to the main publication if you want to know more. I used Pocket Medicine in my residency and I have faith in this series.
Great book fits in your pocket and offers key points on many common oncology questions. Good for those in oncology field, too detailed for those who are not.
Very useful quick reference when caring for patients with heme/onc conditions.
Great book for quick review!
Very good resource and knowledge
This book is fabulous and keeps me up to date on the oncology wards. A nice bird's eye view of Hem Onc. Probably would be good review for the boards as well.
