Average Rating: 
Rating: - Authoritative, concise and practical
As a practising oncologist, I own a whole personal library of oncology books. I find this book easy to use and sufficiently authoritative as well as up-to-date for quick reference and reminders. Compared to the standard large textbooks, it restricts discussion to only the most relevant and frequently quoted studies, but this should make it ideal for the trainee doing his/her revisions not to be too bogged down by details. Among the "shorter" textbooks/manuals, this is definitely the best.
