This unique book presents a series of concisely written technical notes on common procedures in surgical oncology. Each operation is illustrated with pictures framing precise technical points. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM that includes video clips of the procedures.

Written by top European experts, this volume will provide an invaluable resource for young surgical oncologists to familiarize with technical details, develop a critical approach and expand their surgical skills. It will also be a useful source of reference for medical oncologists, radiologists, radiotherapists and nurses, as well as final-year medical students.
