Modern biological understanding is the basis for a multimodality treatment of a tumor. 'Anatomic Basis of Tumor Surgery' is the only book that provides an anatomic basis and description of tumor surgery based on an understanding of both the anatomy and biology of tumor progression. It presents the regional anatomy to allow tailoring of the operation as demanded.

The old saying that “the best anatomist makes the best surgeon” is but a variation
on the venerable saw that “you have to know the territory.” Neoplastic disease has
no respect for anatomical boundaries, making detailed familiarity with anatomy that
exists beyond the margins of a standard surgical method a great facilitator for many
surgical procedures. The biology of cancer and knowledge of all modalities appropriate
for its management continues to defi ne new approaches to both common and
rare cancers.
We are pleased to present this update of Anatomic Basis of Tumor Surgery, the 2nd
edition of the book that interweaves the form of an atlas, the shape of an anatomy
text, and a pervasive understanding of multimodality therapy in light of the expanding
knowledge of oncologic biology. In addition to welcoming many new authors to
this edition, Charles Staley has joined us as an editor. We also honor John Skandalakis
for holding aloft the torch of surgical anatomy with so many contributions over the
nearly ninety years of his life.
Many thanks are owed to Sean Moore, Editor for the Department of Surgery at Emory,
whose diligent reviews and persistent eff orts brought this book to completion.
