Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I bought this book in my second year of Internal Medicine Residency for my Hematology and Oncology rotation. I found a great ally in this book because it covered so many topics in 380 (pocket size) pages. The few things missing in this book were cancer screening guidelines, and details on rare malignancies (eg GIST, somatostatinoma etc)
The overall coverage of the different types of cancer was excellent for the most common ones, including cytogenetic workups. I managed a few times actually to impress an attending having read these details from the book. I also enjoyed very much the blood products transfusion chapter and the WBC, RBC, PLT disorders as well as the coagulation chapters. Overall very helpful, covering everything you will need for this level of training. Maybe it could work out for a first year fellow as well, but not for the advanced reader.
I need to warn you though that it is not a textbook of Hematology and Oncology and like my attendings were saying consider Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology (2 Vol. Set) and Abeloff's Clinical Oncology: Expert Consult Premium Edition: Enhanced Online Features and Print when you think you know everything...
