5.0 out of 5 stars Can't transcribe heme-onc without it, May 14, 2004

This review is from: Stedman's Oncology Words: Includes Hematology, HIV and AIDS (Stedman's Wordbooks)(4th Edition) (Paperback)

As with all of Stedman's word books, this is power-packed and indispensible. I transcribe for cancer clinics, among other clients, and the people at Stedman's do a great job in this specialty as with all of their word books. In addition to hundreds of pages of terms related to cancer and diseases of the blood, there is terrific cross-referencing, appendices with details on different staging and classification systems, names and addresses of many major cancer centers (alphabetized by state, excellent idea), chemo regimens alphabetized by diagnosis, etc.

You may also benefit from the good deal Amazon offers for pairing this with Stedmans' equally fine Radiology book, or, if you would prefer these on a CD, you will find a CD on this site that has the Oncology and Radiology books gathered onto one CD with images etc. I couldn't do my job without Stedman's.

This review is from: Stedman's Oncology Words: Includes Hematology, HIV and AIDS (Stedman's Wordbooks)(4th Edition) (Paperback)

This is the only oncology book I have that gives the staging and grading names and whether they are arabic or roman numeral. This is an important Item. I've used the book quite a bit.
