DeVita, Hellman, and Rosenberg’s Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 8th ed.

by Vincent T. DeVita Jr., M.D., Amy and Joseph Perella Professor of Medicine and professor of epidemiology; Theodore S. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D.; Steven A. Rosenberg, M.D., Ph.D.; Ronald A. DePinho, M.D.; and Robert A. Weinberg, Ph.D. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins) The text provides information on the science of oncology and multimodality treatments 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. Consideration is also given to cancer prevention, screening, palliative care, supportive oncology, and quality-of-life issues.
