DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Presented by the American College of Surgeons and the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, the first comprehensive,
evidence-based examination of cancer surgery techniques as standards distills the well-defined protocols and techniques
that are critical to achieve optimal outcomes in a cancer operation. This unique, one of a kind collaboration between the
American College of Surgeons and the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology focuses on best practices and state-of-the-
art methodologies. Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery clearly describes the surgical activities that occur between skin
incision and skin closure that directly affect cancer outcomes.
• Quickly grasp the proper technical elements of a cancer operation through clear, practical text and more than 120
illustrations.
• Benefit from careful analysis of the best evidence available in the literature, gathered here to create the highest quality
standards in four key disease sites: breast, colon, lung, and pancreas.
• Learn from experts drawn from diverse groups including the American College of Surgeons, the Alliance for Clinical Trials
in Oncology, the National Cancer Institute Cooperative Groups, and the Commission on Cancer, as well as national
societies and organizations with an interest in these four cancer types.
