Book Reviews of Handbook of Evidence-based Radiation Oncology
Book Review: Excellent handbook that you can squeeze into your white-coat
Summary: 5 Stars
It's concise and has some solid pearls as intro to each section, lists most of the studies/trials that affect management, includes basic workup, staging tables and management algorithms/tables.
It's also useful for really basic simulation/planning pearls along with some dose constraints.
Great for morning conference prep - at the very minimum, read the relevant chapter out of hansen. The high-yield nature of the information will serve you well.
Some chapters are more high-yield than others (each chapter is by a different set of authors), as is true of any book.
You can also use it to orient yourself on the issues concerning a certain site, before you choose to memorize every word in perez, leibel & gunderson ;)
You can *squeeze* it into your white-coat.
In short, for a new resident, it's indispensable.
Haven't had a chance to check out the new book by Dr. Hafty (I just ordered my copy) in detail - but at first glance that book seems a little more verbose and thicker (will not fit in white-coat) - whereas most of the info in Hansen is in outline format.
Summary of Handbook of Evidence-based Radiation Oncology
This handbook serves as a portable reference that utilizes evidence-based medicine as the basis for practical treatment recommendations and guidelines. Organized by body site, concise clinical chapters provide easy access to critical information. Important "pearls" of epidemiology, anatomy, pathology, and clinical presentation are highlighted. Key facets of the work-up are listed, followed by staging and/or risk classification systems. Treatment recommendations are discussed based on stage, histology, and/or risk classification. Brief summaries of key trials and studies provide rationale for the recommendations. Practical guidelines for radiation techniques are described. Finally, complications and follow-up guidelines are outlined. Appendices are included as well to allow quick reference to information on performance status scales, radionucleotides used in brachytherapy, radiation safety, tumor markers, immunophenotyping and cytogenetics, and commonly prescribed drugs. This revised edition includes new color contouring mini-atlases for head and neck, gastrointestinal, prostate, and gynecological tumors.Biochemistry Books
