Featuring more than 400 illustrations, Thoracic Surgical Oncology demonstrates the surgical procedures used to treat thoracic malignancies and the anatomic structures and relationships encountered during each procedure.

Thoracic Surgical Oncology combines meticulous surgeon’s-eye drawings of thoracic anatomy with step-by-step presentations of specific open and thoracoscopic techniques for the lung, mediastinum, trachea, chest wall, spine, and esophagus.

The illustrations are derived from intraoperative experiences, operative photographs, and cadaver dissections. They clarify the complex arrangement of intrathoracic structures in the presence of an invasive tumor. Alongside the drawings are instructions on technique, plus commentaries by expert consulting editors.

Features:

• Heavily illustrated with multiple views and perspectives
• Includes radiographs, line drawings, and photos of cadaveric dissections
• Anatomy and surgical techniques combined for clarity
• Standard and less common procedures covered
