Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology
Abstract
A fresh text on general aspects of cancer attempts a great deal: to be comprehensive, to be readable, to be current. The volume at hand seems to fill the bill reasonably well. Its three editors and its associate editors are generally recognized as outstanding workers and clinical researchers in the cancer field; in 49 chapters, the various human cancers are comprehensively analyzed in regard to diagnosis, historical background, etiology, epidemiology, pathology, and details of treatment and prognosis. Some rather "old-hat" topics such as lung cancer have a fresh approach with current material and bibliography. I was pleased to see a detailed section on supportive care of the patient, including nutrition, use of blood products, and management of pain. A short but interesting chapter discusses side effects of treatment—a subject of considerable interest to clinicians and primary care physicians who often must deal with patients and relatives in some misery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
