Surgical Oncology
Among the standard oncology modalities, surgical oncology is singular in that it lacks a separate board certification or even an added qualification mecha nism. 'Card-carrying' surgical oncologists are certified by the American Board of Surgery, as are all other general surgeons. What distinguishes the surgical oncologist is a set of cognitive skills rather than a specific armamentarium of surgical techniques. This different conceptual framework is derived from ex tensive additional training that leads to an in-depth understanding of the natural history and biologic behavior of the various solid tumor systems. Equipped with this perspective, the surgical oncologist is particularly well posit...
Changing Paradigms in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment, An Issue of Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, E-Book
This issue of Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, guest edited by Dr. Kelly Hunt, is devoted to Changing Paradigms in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment. Dr. Hunt has assembled expert authors to review the following topics: Tomosynthesis in breast cancer imaging: how does it fit into preoperative evaluation and surveillance?; Lobular breast cancer: different disease, different algorithms?; Hypofractionated radiation therapy in breast conserving therapy; Oncoplastic breast reconstruction: should all patients be considered?; Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy: who benefits most?; Breast cancer disparities: how can we leverage genomics to improve outcomes?; Anatomy and breast cancer staging: is it still relevant?; When does atypical ductal hyperplasia require surgical intervention?; Surgical intervention for lymphedema; Are there alternative strategies in the local management of DCIS?; Genetic testing and genetic counseling: what is standard of care?; Molecular subtypes and local-regional control of breast cancer; Intraoperative margin assessment in breast cancer management; Triple negative breast cancer: who should receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy?; and more!
Breast Cancer
This second volume in the MD Anderson Solid Tumor Oncology series provides the general surgeon, surgical oncologist, and medical oncologist with the state-of-the art multimodality care for breast cancer. Divided into five sections, the text presents recognized experts addressing the current status of breast imaging, breast pathology, the role of breast surgery including management of in situ and early stage carcinoma, prophylatic mastectomy, auxillary node dissection, sentinel node and lymphatic mapping, and outpatient mastectomy. They also cover special selected topics featuring breast cancer in pregnancy, inflammatory breast cancer and breast sarcoma. An important section on future research reviews on-going studies for the use of in situ laser ablation, cryosurgery, and translational research so as to bring the busy practitioner up-to-date on state-of-the-art advances. A must-have resource on the full spectrum of current and prospective treatment options for this challenging disease.

The MD Anderson Surgical Oncology Manual
Now with additional review content and a larger page size, The MD Anderson Surgical Oncology Manual, Seventh Edition, focuses on multidisciplinary, cooperative management approaches to issues confronting today’s surgical oncologist. Lead editor Dr. Barry W. Feig is joined by recently graduated surgical oncology fellows Michael G. White, Cameron E. Gaskill, Anai N. Kothari, and Sandra R. DiBrito to bring you comprehensive yet concise information on the complete range of oncologic considerations needed to effectively understand cancer and all aspects of its treatment.
Breast & Gynecological Diseases
This book is primarily a symptom-based guide to Breast and Gynecologic Imaging. Most clinical publications focus on a specific pathology such as "Imaging and/or management of ovarian cancer," but in clinical practice, patients do not present with a diagnosis. Physicians are presented with clinical symptoms, and appropriate use of imaging after a clinical assessment is critical from the point of view of effective intervention to treat a patient. CMS now mandates a clinical decision support system to justify imaging. This is based on making use of appropriate modalities for specific clinical problems that are deemed so by professional society guidelines. In an era of emphasis on cost effective...
Clinical Trials
This extensively revised second edition is a unique and portable handbook focusing on clinical trials in surgery. It includes new educational materials addressing the rapid evolution of novel research methodologies in basic science, clinical and educational research. The underlying principles of clinical trials, trial design, the development of a study cohort, statistics, data safety, data monitoring, and trial publication for device and drug trials are also discussed. Clinical Trials provides a comprehensive resource on clinical trials in surgery and describes all the stages of a clinical trial from generating a hypothesis through to trial publication and is a valuable resource for all practicing and trainee academic surgeons.
The M.D. Anderson Surgical Oncology Handbook
Written by current and former surgical oncology fellows of the world-renowned M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, this portable handbook is a practical guide to established surgical oncology principles for each organ system. This new Fourth Edition features extensive updates including new chapters on reconstructive surgery in the cancer patient. Concise chapters illustrated with algorithms and line drawings outline the essential elements of diagnosis, staging, and clinical management of solid tumors treated in surgical practice. The authors emphasize multidisciplinary treatment planning, including therapy sequencing and biologic therapies.
Gene Delivery Systems
This unique volume in our Drugs and Pharmaceutical Sciences series covers the development of gene therapy today, the technology involved, clinical applications of siRNA, non-viral vector-based mRNA delivery using nanotechnology, and RNA based vaccines for treating the infectious diseases. It also presents the current application of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technique which has revolutionized genome editing and which was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Several new drug delivery systems are explored for the applications of gene therapy. These are found to be useful in treating chronic illnesses, including cancer and infectious diseases. Key Features: Overview of the development of gene therapy Provides the most up to date information on the development of gene therapy, from the technology involved to gene correction and genome editing Presents CRISPR gene therapy recent trends and applications Discusses siRNA, mRNA, and DNA plasmids
