New to this edition: add a chapter on Cancer Genetics and expand the Basics of Genomics for practicing oncologists to include the clinically relevant molecular tests; major addition will be to add about 5 board review question and answers per chapter - more than 200 board review questions; new treatment regimens added to all appropriate chapters; new clinical trial data added on treatment; and more chemotherapeutic agents added (including newer regimens and dosages).
