Aimed for surgeons specializing in Complex General Surgical Oncology (CGSO), this work intends to help the reader prepare for board examinations and guide decision-making. Chapters focus on key content with an emphasis on evidence-based medical decision making. A supplemental section provides challenging scenarios. The book uniquely uses outlines and bullet points instead of prose. Chapters provide objective numbers that reflect a thorough understanding of each topic and are a valuable resource. We hope these will also aid the surgeon during patient conversations while early in their practice.
