Concise Notes in Oncology for MRCP and MRCS
This book has two objectives. It is intended to provide an accurate, concise source of information on medical and surgical oncology and to serve as a platform on which to build new information generated by the multitude of scientific and clinical disciplines that continuously contribute to improving our understanding of cancer and its management.
Each cancer is presented in an organised format that includes information about epidemiology, aetiology, pathology, clinical features, investigations, treatment and prognosis.
However, the approach adopted in this book is limited by the amount of detail that can be provided, and it makes no allowances for controversial opinions.
This publication will be valuable to undergraduate medical students preparing for final examinations, postgraduate doctors preparing for the MRCP and MRCS examinations, general practitioners, oncology nurses and basic science researchers in the field of oncology. It will also serve as a quick reference guide for medical and surgical oncologists.
I have made every effort to ensure that the information contained in this book is accurate at the time of going to press.
