The Basic Science of Oncology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is probably the best introductory oncology book I have found. I taught out of it in classes for advanced undergrades, first year graduate students and doctor of pharmacy students. It is comprehensive and easily readable, and the treatment of general concepts is second to none. Some of the listings of identified oncogenes and such are a bit dated, but that should be rectified when the 3rd edition is published (currently expected April 1, 1998). The section on the biology underlying cancer treatment is particularly useful, and hopefully the 1998 update will continue to be so.

Disorders of Hemostasis & Thrombosis: A Clinical Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book covers all the fundamentals, and while not as in depth as the Victor Marder tome,...it does help in teaching medical students and residents. Some of the chapters were written by faculty members of the University of Vermont. To tell the truth, the printed word is much more understandable than hearing the speakers in person. In all, a good book for learning the basics.

Now expanded with new coverage of genetics, more therapy and management strategies, and more references throughout, this guide remains one of the most practical resources for diagnosis and treatment of hematologic conditions commonly seen in general practice. The clear, succinct language is meant for the non-hematologist who wants the salient points of clinical signs, etiology and pathophysiology, laboratory tests, differential diagnosis, and treatment in one convenient manual.
