I am a 4th year medical student and used this book while on a senior elective in surgical oncology. Absolutely excellent! Easy to read, concise chapters and all the information needed to shine like a surg onc wannabe rockstar. No need for a highlighter as all information is pertinent.

As others have said in their reviews, the MDA Surg Onc Handbook is well written, easily readable and a great source for studying for the boards or just quick review before a case or clinic.

Treatment plans are cutting edge but available to the community and the presentation of controversies is helpful in understanding the topic.
