 Thorough and concise, this new state-of-the-art atlas covers all of the cancer procedures practised today with numerous superb illustrations all prepared by Hugh Thomas, a master illustrator. Each chapter begins with detailed anatomical drawings in the same orientation as the operative procedures that are illustrated in that chapter, and concludes with a case that demonstrates uncommon approaches to surgery contributed by an authority in that field. The text features discussions on laparoscopic techniques, including the current role of video-assisted or minimally invasive techniques applicable to surgical oncology.

Features

• Outstanding artwork has been prepared by a single illustrator to ensure consistency and clarity in all illustrations.
• Anatomic approach provides a uniform treatment of each key area and eliminates repetition.
• Case studies are included in each chapter, which demonstrate uncommon approaches to surgery.
• Discussions on laparoscopic techniques throughout the text emphasise this state-of-the-art technology.
• Provides a thorough and highly visual reference for surgeons in the oncology field.
