From the reviews:
"The Radiation Oncology Study Guide ... is a new and valuable addition. It is well written, easy to understand, and organized by specific disease sites. ... There are over 1,000 multiple choice questions which are both challenging and informative. The most valuable and novel aspect of the book is the detailed answers and rationales. ... The Study Guide is an invaluable resource for board preparation. It also is a wonderful learning tool for those who enjoy learning by the question-and-answer method." (Bruce D. Minsky, Journal of Radiation Oncology, September, 2013)
