"This is an excellent reference for those early in their oncologycareers or who would benefit from a contemporary review of aspecific subject. The authors have met this goal, and I amconfident that a seventh edition will be forthcoming." (Int. J.Radiation Oncology Biol. Phys., November 2010)

"The book is perfectly suited to its intended target audience i.e.individuals that need a general introduction to the treatment ofcancer. Indeed, it represents a cheaper and faster reading thanvolumes specifically written for oncologists although the lattermight still enjoy reading the more general chapters."(Hematological Oncology, July 2010)
