Textbooks are excellent comprehensive resources, but we find that
in the era of text messages, tweets, and short e-mails, there is a
need for a concise resource where brief, trustworthy information can
be found. We appreciate the often harried life of an oncologist,
trainee, or other members of the oncology care team. Being able to
quickly reach into the pocket of a white coat to obtain a general
understanding of a topic is critical. Pocket Oncology was created to
meet this need.
Cancer is too complex a disease to attempt to summarize in a
handbook of any size. Clinical decision making and a nuanced
understanding of the field certainly require additional reading and
consultation. Pocket Oncology is only intended to be a quick
reference and educational guide, providing useful information and
providing a general context until more definitive resources such asthe primary literature can be consulted. It is not a substitute for good
clinical judgment nor intended to influence clinical decisions.
Pocket Oncology was composed with an emphasis on information
that general oncology providers and providers in training might find
important. Each chapter was written by a resident, fellow, or
pharmacist, and subsequently reviewed by an attending faculty
member for accuracy and completeness. We are grateful for the
efforts of all the contributors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center who have made this handbook possible.
