Surgical Neuro-Oncology, 1st ed. by
This book is the first review book that uses the multiple-choice question format in neurosurgical oncology which mirrors the format of the majority of shelf and board examinations. The mission of the book is to help readers understand the content and maintain the knowledge, rather than merely finding answers for complicated questions. It provides more than 800 MCQs in a convenient format that is suitable for self-study. Answers and definitions appear immediately below the questions to facilitate information retention. The chapters provide comprehensive coverage of the core concepts in neurosurgical oncology. They provide a step-by-step, thorough explanations of each disease from the definition, associated anatomy, pathology, clinical features, radiology to surgical decision-making, and surgical tricks, providing a comprehensive and concise overview. This book is an adjunct to the existing texts and does not intend to be the primary source of information; it ratheraims to help readers identify their relevant strengths and weaknesses in the area. The book is an important asset for residents across neurosurgical disciplines as it includes much of the neuro-oncology knowledge that neurosurgical residents need to prepare for their certification tests. It is also useful for those seeking ways to solidify their knowledge or maintain their current certification.

Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology, 6th ed. by
The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology is a clear, concise, and
comprehensive reference book for the busy clinician to use in their
daily patient encounters and for board review. The book has been
compiled by clinicians who are working at the National Cancer
Institute, National Institutes of Health, Cleveland Clinic, M.D.
Anderson, Mayo Clinic as well as experts from other academic
institutions. To limit the size of the book, less space is dedicated to
etiology, pathophysiology, and epidemiology and greater emphasis
is placed on practical clinical information. For easy accessibility to
the pertinent information, long descriptions are avoided, and more
tables, pictures, algorithms, and phrases are included.
The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology is not intended as a
substitute for the many excellent oncology reference textbooks
available that are essential for a more complete understanding of the
pathophysiology and management of complicated oncology
patients. We hope that the reader-friendly format with its
comprehensive review of the management of each disease with
treatment regimens, including dosing and schedule, makes this book
unique and useful for hematology/oncologists, advanced practice
providers, hematology and oncology fellows, residents, students,
oncology nurses, and allied health professionals.
The landscape of oncology has changed substantially since we
published the first edition of this book more than 21 years ago. For
the sixth edition, we have updated all chapters and given
importance to genomics, immune-oncology, and targeted therapies.
As always, we have attempted to capture the advances in the field
and listened to the feedback from readers to improve this edition.
Abraham, Jame, and James L. Gulley. The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology, Wolters Kluwer Health, 2022. ProQuest Ebook Central, http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/mayo/detail.action?docID=30777175.

will find The Bethesda Handbook of Clinical Oncology to be an
indispensable resource.

Clinical Immuno-Oncology by
There is no other more rapidly advancing and therefore promising field in cancer treatment than immuno-oncology. Today, we have a much greater and, in fact, continually expanding understanding of the complex relationships existing between the host’s tissues, the host immune system, the tumor, and the tumor microenvironment as these entities relate to the process of tumor initiation and tumor progression. The goal of this book is to enable its readers—those caring for patients with cancer no matter their specialty—to achieve a greater in-depth understanding of these relationships and how they can be engineered to drive the immune system to effectively treat the cancer. It is hoped that this text will enable the trainee and the practicing oncologist to acquire the language of immunology and, in so doing, facilitate the more purposeful reading of the rapidly evolving clinical immuno-oncology literature. Empowered by this knowledge, it is hoped that practitioners will be optimally prepared to discuss and apply immunotherapies in translational research and in the actual care of their patients.

Palliative Radiation Oncology by
Many of the successful uses of radiotherapy over the past century relate to its benefits in symptom control, especially given that it has remained effective, efficient, and preferable to surgery or chemotherapy in a wide array of clinical circumstances. Still, the degree to which the radiation oncology community has embraced its importance in this realm has varied. Providers often feel more comfortable talking to a patient about curative intent treatment than they do admitting that their main purpose in giving care is to improve quality of life preceding death. Furthermore, while improved survival from stereotactic ablative radiotherapy to oligometastatic disease and increased tumor responsiveness to immunotherapy have ushered in new hope for patients, the potential benefits of these approaches have blurred the line between curative and palliative therapy and also require a different perspective regarding the potential significance of late side effects. Unfortunately, radiation oncology residency training programs have not uniformly adopted requirements for palliative medicine rotations, and dedicated palliative radiotherapy clinical services remain few in number. These blind spots in training can create uncertainty in the minds of radiation oncologists when they face complex clinical scenarios due to imperfect survival prognostications or from situations where patients suffer an array of comorbid conditions. There have existed intermittent eras in the specialty when relatively few researchers devoted their careers to the palliative radiation oncology subspecialty.
