Oncology is the latest book from the Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program, sixth edition (PSAP-VI). This 10th book in the series provides an up-to-date review of therapeutic advances and challenges in several important areas of oncology. The book is divided into three learning modules. The first module covers the management of breast cancer (in two chapters) and the application of pharmacogenetic information to the use of antineoplastic drugs. Module II includes chapters that update the reader on the treatment of lung cancer, renal cancer, and supportive care of the patient with cancer. The third module focuses on pediatric leukemia, pediatric brain neoplasms, adult brain cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, and chronic myeloid leukemia. Each chapter has an extensive annotated bibliography that identifies key research articles, books, and other resources relevant to the major content areas.
