AJCC Cancer Staging Manual

AJCC Cancer Staging Manual

READ MORE REVIEWS

Best review:

Highly detailed description of the staging of the neoplasms and especially in the matter of surgical vs non-surgical margins for the determination of the R category for residual tumor. Includes the new TNM system for neuroendocrine tumors (lung, intestine, pancreas etc), modified information about Tumor Deposits in colorectal cancer (changes the “smooth contour” consensus) and new definitions in Melanoma report (ulceration, micro-satellite deposits etc). A truly great effort to make Pathology a true Consensus among Pathologists and less a matter of personal opinions.

An absolutely essential book for surgical pathologists. Clear explanation with summary of the difference between this one and the previous edition.

Indispensible reference for anyone who needs to accurately stage cancer patients. Two nice features are: 1) a box early in each chapter tells how this edition of staging differs from the prior, and 2) the included CD allows you to print the TNM staging for each disease site.

The Comprehensive ABSITE Review by Steven Fiser

The Comprehensive ABSITE Review by Steven Fiser
Click on the link above to read student reviews.

Some students like to think of this book as a hybrid of the regular ABSITE Review book and the Senior ABSITE review book. It is also significantly more in depth in each of the categories.

This is not a book you can cram at the end of January. It will take you significantly longer to read through it.

Senior surgery residents have found this book extremely useful.

The book is 450 pages, a length that some students find this too long.  One student writes: “I re-opened my new comprehensive ABSITE review today, and it just really seems long. I tried to envision myself getting through 450 pages of dense material in the last week of January, and I just don’t see it happening.”

BRS Physiology by Costanzo

BRS Physiology by Costanzo

Click on the links or images to read student reviews.

The best review:

This book is an excellent resource for persons both entering their first year course in Medical Physiology and for those second-year medical students preparing for USMLE Step 1. A concise, yet detailed text which emphasizes quite clearly the basic principles of Physiology. I am lucky to have had the author, Dr. Costanzo, as a professor and my current advisor. However, having her review text is the next big thing! Detailed pictures and powerful tables and diagrams handsomely supplement her student-oriented presentation style of information. A particularly well written section concerning Renal Acid-Base Physiology, which is Dr. Costanzo’s specialty. Any medical student or person taking a Physiology course will not lose a dime by purchasing this book… It is well worth it, believe me! :)
