*Dr Will Howard*
This handbook has exceeded expectations of a student with basic
background in oncology. Its content is rich and worthy of every
student’s and young doctor’s consideration. The book covers a wide
range of topics, starting from pathophysiology to up–to–date
criteria for diagnostics. We appreciated the special focus and
easily understandable presentation of modern pain management.
Moreover, every chapter finishes with most important Key Points
which can be used for fast revision. We recommend this book as a
stand-alone guide and also a great comprehensive book at wards!
*Jorune Suipyte, Medical Science Director*
