"Cancer Medicine is the best known and respected work in the field of oncology and was the first comprehensive textbook devoted to reporting and assessing the rapid and continuous development in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Cancer Medicine is widely recognized as a leading reference resource for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, internists, surgical oncologists, and others who treat cancer patients. Cancer Medicine e.8 continues this high standard while providing updated information in all areas of oncology-including molecular biology, pathology, imaging interventional radiology, endoscopy, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology.

The publication of Cancer Medicine e.5 is a joint publishing venture between B.C. Decker Inc. Publisher and the American Cancer Society (ACS). Included with the publication of the text is a dynamic set of electronic and print companion products.
