"This fifth edition includes two new chapters, one on clinical genetics and one on diagnosis-driven individualization of cancer care, that cover targeted therapy and personalized medicine, areas critical to today's practice of oncology. This handbook is not intended to serve as an extensive and in-depth reference work, rather it is meant to be a comprehensive review of the management of different cancers including treatment regimens in a reader-friendly format. It is well suited for oncologists, medical students, residents, hematology/oncology fellows, oncology nurses, and, more broadly, anyone interested in gleaning concise information on the subject. This comprehensive review of more than 800 pages comprises 46 chapters devoted to various cancers, including both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Despite the breadth, the book is designed for ready access to clinically relevant information. To limit the size of the book, the authors place lesser emphasis on disease etiology, pathophysiology, and epidemiology and greater emphasis on practical considerations. Consistently, the endeavor combines concise and helpful information with plentiful illustrations, tables, and references. Chapter 46, on anticancer agents, is particularly impressive in its description of the mechanism of action, approved indications, dosing, schedules, adverse reactions, and comments on a large number of cancer drugs. Written and edited by recognized experts from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, and other leading research institutions, this comprehensive review is an outstanding resource."
