Publisher's Synopsis
Surgeons grade and classify disease in order to facilitate accurate communication and help stratify the disease process into groups with similar outcomes. Unfortunately, most of these systems are hard to remember unless used very frequently. Now, this compact, easy-to-read manual gives physicians a single source to turn to when they need to precisely classify tumors and other disorders. Each chapter is devoted to a major division of surgery and includes the most important and frequently used grading and staging schemes. Whether its the correct staging of breast cancer, the grading of snakebites, or the classification of femur fractures The Surgeons Guide to Grading, Staging and Classification is the one place to find all this essential information.
