Acclaimed by the worldwide medical community as "a staple reference text in the medical oncologist's library" (JAMA), DeVita, Hellman, and Rosenberg's Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology is now in its Eighth Edition. This edition is in full color for the first time, has a new editor, Theodore S. Lawrence, MD, PhD, a radiation oncologist, and has two Associate Scientific Advisors, Ronald A. DePinho, MD and Robert A. Weinberg, PhD, with special expertise in molecular biology. More than 40 chapters are entirely new, and more than 70 have been rewritten by new contributing authors. Plus, this edition has an exciting new companion Website. The text provides cutting-edge, practical information on the science of oncology and the multimodality treatment of every cancer type. To ensure a balanced, multidisciplinary approach, each major treatment chapter is co-authored by a surgeon, a medical oncologist, and a radiation oncologist. Treatment of each cancer type is discussed by stage, with coordinated guidelines on the role of each treatment modality at each stage. Each major treatment section is preceded by an updated brief chapter describing the molecular biology of the cancer and the implications of molecular biology for patient management. Full consideration is also given to cancer prevention, screening, palliative care, supportive oncology, and quality of life issues. A companion Website offers the fully searchable online text, an image bank, links to journal articles, and a question bank.

Without a doubt, this book is the leaderin cancer literature.It has over 3,000 pagesand weighs over 18 pounds in two volumes. It isthe publishers, Wolters Kluewer/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, who deserve thecredit for creating this massive work. Thereare 421 contributing authors, but the publishersorganized this enormous amount of material bythe scientific leaders in the oncologycommunity. The publishers have included cartoons that visually explain some of the intricatemechanisms of cancer development and treatmentthat help the reader understand how cancerdevelops and the treatments involved. The reader will understand the hidden role of thepublishers when difficult and obscuretreatments and strategies are clearly explained.If the reader follows the cancer literature, asI do in cancer journals, the reader will appreciate the editiors' role in presentingclear, understandable reading. The reader should be under no illusions that the 421 authorsare gifted writers as they are physicians.There are 78 chapters containing all the currenttreatments and strategies for the treatment ofcancer but obviously the latest treatments anddrugs could not be included. The 9th edition,currently released in 2011, will undoubtedly,will correct this situation. Whether it is themolecular basis of cancer, or the principles ofoncology, or the practice of oncology, or thenewer approaches in cancer treatment, this isthe source book all health professionals who need, and read more than superfical journal literature. This isthe ultimate, indispensable source for those whostudy cancer.
It is old version. but I am one of the contributors of this textbook. I recommend this book. I got this in good price.
Look, this is the reference book for cancer. They get the best thought leaders, write the best summaries, and have the most comprehensive guide out there - plus free access via web (very handy if you don't want to lug a 30 lb. book with you on rounds!). Pick up a new one every 2-3 years so ASCO, ASH and SABCS Updates are covered.
Exactly as described, excellent service.
