Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery Volume 3 Now Available

The ACS Cancer Research Program is excited to announce the new volume of Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery, a valuable resource for both surgical oncologists and general surgeons. Now available in digital and print, Volume 3 provides evidence-based recommendations for the technical conduct of cancer operations for sarcoma, adrenal, neuroendocrine, peritoneal, urothelial, and hepatobiliary cancers.

Similar to the previous two volumes, Volume 3 breaks down the components of major cancer operations for each of the six disease sites into critical elements—the steps from skin incision to skin closure that ensure the best oncological outcomes for patients. Using clear, concise text and more than 150 illustrations, the authors describe how each critical element should be performed, based on a review of available literature and expert opinion. In addition, the authors analyze the evidence surrounding identified areas of controversy, or “key questions,” and provide a synoptic operative report template that lists data elements and responses deemed important to document for each operation.

The Operative Standards for Cancer Surgery Volume 3 is an essential guide for surgeons who are focused on delivering high-quality care and achieving the best outcomes for their patients. For more information or to purchase your copy, visit our website.
