"The editors and authors of the ESMO Handbook have produced a truly remarkable handbook [...] It is highly recommended for use by both residents and fellows in medical and in radiation oncology and by attending oncologists themselves. Program directors would be well advised to provide a copy of this manual to all trainees entering their program."
