Editorial Reviews

The combined skills of Drs Wood and Skandalakis and their outstanding contributors have resulted in a unique textbook that belongs on the shelf of every senior-level resident and anyone who performs or teaches surgical oncology procedures. Despite the large number of surgical texts on the market today, this book truly stands alone as a singular reference source for the surgical oncologist.

Journal of the American Medical Association

This text gives equal weight to anatomic knowledge and a contemporary understanding of the techniques of surgical extirpation of malignant tumors to help prevent the anatomic complications associated with surgical resection. Twenty chapters have been structured to include the anatomic entities related to the specific surgery of the organ involved with cancer. They also emphasize the basic characterizations of epithelial and nonepithelial malignant tumors, invasion, and metastasis, and present in detail the blood supply and lymphatics of each organ. Illustrated in color. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the reviews of the second edition: “Basic anatomy is juxtaposed with surgical procedures with clear illustrations emphasizing the interplay between pathology and surgical oncology in this complete surgery book. … Students of surgery and experienced surgical oncologists will find the book well written and easy to read and understand. … I would recommend this book strongly to surgeons in training and surgical oncology fellows as it provides a needed bridge between anatomy and surgery. … well covered, so this book can replace numerous books from other fields of surgery.” (Neal Wilkinson, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2010)
