Krag David N. Surgical Oncology

1 edition. CRC Press, 2000. — 301 p.
This book meets the information needs of the medical student or surgical resident rotating on a surgical service which emphasizes oncology. It is also useful for the practicing general surgeon in reviewing the most current information on organ specific cancer therapy. It is not designed to be encyclopedic but distills important information about surgical oncology in a concise, up-to-date, and readable manner.Breast Cancer
