The Oncology Knowledge Bank book is a revised version of the one published earlier in the year 2006. It is a multi-author book dealing with lung cancer. The book is edited by specialists well known in this field. Book reads as an extended book chapter. It is divided into two sections. The first section deals with various aspects, such as epidemiology, classification staging, therapies, radiation, chemoprevention and other related topics that encompass contribution by foreign countries such as Asia-Pacific, Oman and USA.

All articles are well researched and written. Information collated is up to date. It is an extremely useful guide for postgraduate students preparing for their examination. The cost of the book is on the higher side.

I recommend all the libraries to procure a copy for their students.
