Summary: the netter of oncologic surgery
Comment: ...in that as a radiation oncologist, I need to design my treatment plans based in part on what the surgeon has seen and does. This book shows that to me. Merely knowing that s/he did a pancreaticoduodenectomy doesnt tell me much about what invasive approach was used to get that end result. this book is terrific for the student, resident, non surgical oncologist who needs to know something about what these surgeries are. No, its not a "definitive text" and that's not its purpose. I dont want to be a surgeon but I need to know about these procedures- this pictorial makes it clear and makes me do my job all the better. A must for rad onc residents involved with 3D and IMRT planning in particular.

Summary: A Satisfied Customer
Comment: My review is slightly influenced by the fact that Dr. Bloom has performed two unrelated surgeries on me. Both were for liposarcoma, the first in 1995 was imbedded in the small muscle in my axilla (underarm between the bicep and tricep), and the second in March, 2001 in my trapezia(shoulder). Dr. Bloom was recommended to me and my primary physician by a local surgeon in Danbury, CT as one of the top two soft tissue cancer surgeons in the New York area. These operations were both on my right arm, the last being March 20th and I played an hour of tennis yesterday with very little pain. As far as his book, from a layperson's view it is quite interesting to see the incredible detail that the surgeon encounters to ensure not only that the cancer is eliminated, but that the person can still function in the best possible manner once they are healed. My mother had both a colon and liver resection 6 years ago, and now I can visualize what she had done. It is still mysterious to me but I appreciate it more nonetheless. If you are going to have cancer surgery, you may want to consider sending your surgeon an anonymous copy of this book! If you are a surgeon or practioner, this has to help your craft. The price may seem a bit steep, but when you consider the quality of the artwork and that the book will probably not make the NY Times bestseller list, it is well worth it.
