Devita is recognized as the customary text-book on medical oncology.
Its strengths are 1. the brilliant introduction to the science of oncology 2. the comprehensive reviews of each tumour type (inevitably dated as is nearly every text-book) 3. a sufficient coverage of all modalities of treatment to allow the medical oncologist to appreciate the contribution of surgery, and radiation therapy 4. a number of helpful discussions of common clinical scenarios.
Its weakness is twofold: 1. if you are looking for a clear recommendation or approach to a problem you will often be better served elsewhere 2. the writing is hard going with a strong tendency to turgid US academic prose.
So who should read it? Any medical oncology fellow should read this or one of the similar books cover to cover. For consultants it is a helpful starting top to review a shape up not often seen, or provide a background to the field. In contrast to another reviewer I cannot judge a lay-person without a very strong health science background will be able to wade through it.

Although the Devita text is a excellent resource, it has vital drawbacks. In every edition, including the latest one, too much in rank has been out of date even at the first day of publication. Several other major oncology texts in some way manage to avoid this problem much better. Also, since the text comes out every two years, in rank in the current edition is already at least 3 years ancient or older. Beyond this, the index is detailed but it still is hard to find specific in rank, i.e., the book is clumsily organized. Finally, the CD version has the most terrible search program that I have ever used. You can enter in rank with any degree of specificity and the search will retrieve (at best) a list of chapters and major chapter sections in which to look. You then have to read through miles of text to find the in rank that you sought after. Searchability is one of the main reasons for buying a CD and I consider the Devita CD effectively worthless.
