Tumor Board Review: Guideline and Case Reviews in Oncology

Praise for the First Edition
As everyone in oncology fellowship training knows, there is a huge information gap in this field. Most oncology books are massive and loaded with information by the time the book is published it is outdated. Tumor Board Review is fresh and just out of the oven. I haven't seen any book in oncology like this so far. I think my investment in this book was wise and worth it.
