Radiation Oncology: A Question-based Review 2nd Edition

As a fourth year med student on Rad Onc audition rotations, this book was my single greatest resource. The fact that it is recently updated is probably its greatest strength, but the format is also perfect if you're trying to quickly learn the essentials for any disease site. Several residents I've worked with seem to use it as well. It covers background, staging, most major trials and toxicity for each disease site in a format similar to Surgical Recall. It is not a replacement for the Roach handbook because it's not nearly as comprehensive, but (at least as a med student) often you can do with less info than that larger, and somewhat out-dated, handbook. Definitely recommend.

Not much has changed compared to the first edition, with the exception of the chapter titles now being in color. If you have an iPad, you can also download the book and use it off-line (a major bonus to me). But was it worth $70 to switch from the 1st edition to the 2nd? No. Don't make the move.

Very straightforward and excellent at focusing on the pertinent information. Helpful there is a focus on seminal papers which create the current treatment paradigm.

Liked it.

I access this book every day, wonderful quick reference for me as a new physician as well as a great resource for boards

The number one resource for passing your written boards. Also indispensable for the oral boards. Truly a gem.
