Each chapter additionally includes disease-specific pearls and key points to test the knowledge reviewed in the chapters.

The authors include all diseases associated with radiation oncology training to ensure a comprehensive resource for exam studying and clinical care. Residents, trainees, and established radiation oncologists find this an ideal study resource for both board and certification exams, as well as an easily accessible aidduringpractice.

Rezensionen
"The principal audience is residents in radiation oncology and practitioners focused on MOC. The book has excellent summaries of clinical management that this audience will find useful. ... Overall, the book is a quality addition to the radiation oncology literature that has its own niche, straddling the spectrum of highly abbreviated reviews to definitive tomes on the subject." (Mark D. Hurwitz, Doody's Book Reviews, August 02, 2019)
