PY - 2016 T2 - The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology, 3e AB - The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology, third edition, articulates the personalized, multidisciplinary approach to cancer management pioneered by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. This approach has contributed to our ranking as number one in cancer care in 11 of the past 14 years in the US News & World Report's “America's Best Hospitals” survey. Our unique perspective has evolved from decades of clinical practice and research with more than a million patients treated. The book is designed to bring a pragmatic approach to cancer management that may serve as a guide for oncologists around the world. The text reflects how MD Anderson currently operates, including many patient care practices that would not have been recognized by practitioners just a decade ago. In a single year, 96,500 people with cancer–33,200 of them new patients–seek care at MD Anderson. Since the first edition, we have improved our ability to identify biomarkers that are predictive for survival, a major triumph in medical oncology that is demonstrated throughout the text.
