Reviews

This is a substantial reference that covers all aspects of the care of the oncology patient in the emergency department. ... The audience includes any providers who care for oncology patients in an emergency setting. ... I have reviewed many books in this field, and this truly comprehensive book is the one I can recommend wholeheartedly. By covering so much more than just typical emergencies, it carries value beyond just a clinical reference. (Michael D. Zwank, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2016)
