Editorial Reviews for 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.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: great quick reference
Comment: This is a great book to have as a quick reference for major studies, staging, appropriate treatments. It was a very helpful review for the re-certification exam in radiation oncology.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent handbook that you can squeeze into your white-coat
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive, concise, but not in depth
Comment: This is very useful pocket handbook for just about every radiation oncology trainee out there. It clearly presents management recommendations for everyday malignancies, and then follows that up with a three to four line summary of each of the pivotal papers. Its only weakness is a lack of critical appraisal of the evidence it cites, but then again, if you only rely on this handbook and don't read the evidence yourself, you're not studying properly for your exams!
An excellent basis for structuring your study notes around, and for use in everyday clinical practice. Thoroughly recommended.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Right to the bone.
Comment: In this book you can find all the information you need in just few minutes. The size is very portable and there are all the important references to go deep in every theme.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A well written book for meds students and residents
Comment: A good book to start with in an overwhelming field of radiation oncology. Most, if not all, of the important radiation-related clinical trials are included. Can't replace a classic textbook, but very high yield.
