Anatomic Basis of Tumor Surgery    By William C. Wood, M.D., John E. Skandalakis, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S. This clinical atlas is certain to become the "bible" of oncologic surgery. It clearly describes the clinical anatomy that is significant for the surgery of each organ system with the applied surgical anatomy for tumor resection. Divided by anatomic area, each section focuses on the types of oncologic problems encountered for each body region, particular considerations, and treatment options. Surgical anatomy is presented with numerous full- color photographs and drawings. Step-by-step surgical procedures are then provided, including endoscopic or laparoscopic applications with key points highlighted as they apply to tumor surgery. Complications appear as boxed text. Designed in a semi-atlas format, this book is lavishly illustrated with full-color and black-and-white drawings and photographs. About the editors: William C.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

Journal of the American Medical Association "[T]his book is probably as close as one can be to a single text providing all the necessary anatomic and technical information for a wide range of tumor resections. It yields a wealth of information on anatomy and surgical technique and the interplay of these two disciplines ... 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."   (February 2, 2000) Archives of Surgery "I think this is a very successful attempt to integrate the anatomical and technical aspects of tumor surgery in one volume. It covers a wide variety of procedures and organ sites and should be of great interest to senior residents, fellows, and practicing surgeons."   (October 1999)
