Excellent Reference of Oncology!:
I bought this manual for my rotation in Clinical Oncology and it sure was a great companion. It's very concise and clearly written, and covers every aspect relevant to Oncology, from carcinogenesis to general principles of management to complications of therapy. It is great for reviewing the most important points after having read a textbook or for clarifying questions that arise "in the field". I recommend it highly.
