First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

This is the 'Oncology' theme book from the popular collection of core textbooks of various medical specialties published by the Oxford University Press (the others include 'Endocrinology', 'Neurology' and 'Haematology'). The first edition was published in 2001, with the second edition five years later. Compared to the first, this edition contains several updated facts related to the ever-changing field of oncology. It is written by four experts who have many other publications related to oncology.
