Diagnostic Imaging: Oncology.

Description:

In 2018, the American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) published the 8th edition of the AJCC Cancer
Staging Manual. Immediately after publication, we quickly got to work on the 2nd edition of Diagnostic
Imaging: Oncology, the single most up-to-date and comprehensive textbook on radiologic tumor staging.
The 8th edition brings a multitude of changes that directly affect radiologic image evaluation and tumorstaging. Almost every organ system has seen widespread modifications, and most staging schemes
based on the 7th edition are now outdated and incorrect. This edition features 7 entirely new staging
systems and a wide range of changed or new staging definitions. Changes include splitting of some
chapters and merging of others. A “Summary of Changes” table has been added to chapters detailing
what changed between the 7th and 8th editions.
Each lavishly illustrated chapter offers multiple ways to quickly review a particular cancer. Bulleted textdistills pertinent information to the essentials. Reference tables provide quick access to definitions for
TNM and AJCC prognostic groups with detailed graphics for a visual reference. Over 105 updated and
new illustrations for new staging classifications have been added. High-quality images demonstrate the
radiologic appearance of practically every stage of every tumor. Over 2,000 updated images were added,
and all of these vivid images are fully captioned and annotated to maximize their illustrative potential.
Whether you are looking for routes of spread, imaging techniques for local staging, or treatment
options, you will find it quickly in this easy-to-use yet comprehensive reference. It is a “must-have” for any
radiologist involved in tumor imaging.
