"This comprehensive atlas of oncologic procedures describes and illustrates the primary operations performed for the treatment of solid tumors. ... It is a must have for most cancer surgeons and for general or vascular surgeons who may need an atlas that carefully describes the techniques, approaches, and exposures of complex areas of the body. ... Because it covers all types of operations, it is written for general surgical oncologists or general surgeons, but also provides enough information for specialists." (James J. Mezhir, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2015) "This is a very well illustrated text and atlas of operative surgical oncology. More specifically, musculoskeletal and soft tissue tumors are described. ... This is a good reference for surgical oncologists, surgery residents, and oncology fellows. This is a very 'hands-on' approach to the treatment of benign and malignant lesions of the genitourinary, gastrointestinal, otolaryngeal, and musculoskeletal systems. ... Overall, this is a very good book." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2015)
