I WANT DOCUMENTS FOR OMENTUM AND SURGERY LIVER

Incidental Finding is a must read for anyone diagnosed with kidney cancer, not dumbed down as many medical books for patients are. This book might be available for free from Action to Cure Kidney Cancer or the Kidney Cancer Association. Get the 2nd edition.

My last review never got posted, likely because I included a link to where to get this book for free. Also, I'll leave out any editorial comments about those who choose to sell free books to people with terrible diseases. That speaks for itself.

This book is fantastic and is a must read for anyone who has or is involved with anyone who has kidney cancer.

Finally, you can get this book free, but not from the Kidney Cancer Association, to the best of my knowledge. You get it from the Action to Cure Kidney Cancer website. Go there and the information is on the first page.

You don't need to buy this book. You can get it FREE from the Kidney Cancer Association. I have RCC and received the book for nothing - no cost - no postage. Save yourself $70+

It is shame someone is trying to make a huge profit from a free item.

I read this book in one sitting and was very impressed with Ms. Chauhan's book. It is imformative, inspirational and the survivor stories are just plain amazing!! I am an RCC survivor and because of this book as well as our Kidney Cancer email list (http://acor.org)I am now able to be proactive and informed about my treatment, necessary medicines, side affects and all things concerning RCC. Thanks Cynthia and List!!

I have RCC and I got this book free, Do not pay for this book!!! It can be ordered for free from the Kidney Cancer Association.

The best chapter in this book was DeZayas's sorting out the details of what occurred prior to and during the German invasion of Lvov Poland (now Lviv Ukraine), which is the subject of much politically motivated distortion and misinformation. This book also documents more than several cases where the German army executed German soldiers who committed crimes such as rape and murder of civilians. This book is worth reading as are all of DeZayas's books - informative and fascinating.

Prof. Dr. Alfred de Zayas is a taboo-breaker. In his books "Nemesis
at Potsdam" and "A Terrible Revenge" he broke the silence surrounding
the expulsion of 15 million Germans from their homelands in Central and Eastern Europe at the end of WWII, an ethnic cleansing that 2 million did not survive. In the "Wehrmacht War Crimes Bureau" he analyzes the extant records of the bureau in the legal division of the Wehrmacht which contain investigations of alleged Allied war crimes, including the Soviet murder of Ukrainians in Lemberg, of the Polish officers at Katyn, of German POWs at Broniki, Feodosia and Grischino. This book- as well as all the others by Dr. de Zayas - is based on
meticulous research. Studying 226 volumes of records, which had been returned by the National Archives in Washington to the German Bundesarchiv and declassified, studying pertinent archives in France,
the Netherlands, Switzerland, the USA and Great Britain, Dr. de
Zayas supplements the information by interviewing hundreds of judges and victims - not just anybody, but those persons who carried out the
investigations and those persons who gave testimony under oath to the judges 1939-45.. In this book de Zayas examines the method of collection by the War Crimes Bureau and compliance of the Allied Armies with the Geneva and Hague conventions. During the course of the war, 2000 German military judges examined alleged Allied war crimes such as shooting at shipwrecks, killing prisoners of war, bombing civilian targets. In his discussions of atrocities committed by the Allies in the West, he found no fabricated atrocities but well documented data. He puts the information into the proper historical perspective and also deals with the Nazi crimes documented in the Nuremberg trials. The German investigations resulted in protest
notes to the Allies via neutral Switzerland. More than 350 references with pictures and facsimiles make this book one of the best sources for researchers delving into the history of WWII. The United States Prosecutor at Nuremberg, Benjamin Ferencz, reviewed this book in the American Journal of International Law, which had two large editions with the University of Nebraska Press. Picton Press in Rockland Maine reissued a new revised book in 2000 since the Nebraska edition sold out in 1999.

Having just been diagnosed with a smallish tumor on kidney (solid, with blood vessels in it, etc.) I find this book helpful in assessing the options for treatment.

It is rare in any field of medicine to have such an incredibly detailed and comprehensive book being written by a single author. The depth of knowledge, the number of references and the copious illustrations are an invaluable tool for study and reference. The prose is lucid and logically organised. I recommend this book to all aspiring pathologist as well as those who are sitting for their FRACP.

Dr. Tavassoli, unfortunately, employs classification schemes which are not widely used or accepted. Elston and Ellis or Page's upcoming new addition are better choices.

I suggest that you keep an open mind about skin cancer and that there are much better methods of curing skin cancer, especially basal cell and squamous cell cancer and also keratosis. I had keratosis on the back of my thigh and also I have a history of skin cancer. After I read the book, I placed an order of the medication mentioned in the book and used it. Guess what? The stuff mentioned in the book REALLY works. I am tired of the butchery of the dermatologists. Of course, I still go to a dermatologist for checkups but I refuse to let him butcher me!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought 3 books on the subject all were better then this. this is about "alternative" medicine. forget it. i through it out.

agood book, i could learn alot of informations out of this book, thak you ...dear writer.

Caveat: contrary to what you might expect from the title this book is not about distant metastases, or non-squamous cell carcinomas. If you are looking for that, move on.

What this book does cover is the lymphatic spread of H & N SCC. It starts with a nice account of the anatomy and development of the lymphatics of the H&N. Further chapters cover aspects such as patterns of spread of different cancers, as well as some discussion about the (mainly) surgical approaches to dissection.

Should you buy it? That depends. If you are looking for a general account of dissemination of malignancy or of H&N SCC you will be better served with one of the more general texts. If you are after a more detailed account, and in particular a European approach to some of these issues, then yes.
