We are proud to introduce the second edition of the Radiation Oncology Self- Assessment Guide, now titled Radiation Oncology Question Review. The first edition, edited by John Suh, MD, and published in 2012, provided a comprehensive overview of the field of radiation oncology in an easy-to-digest flashcard format. Based on the feedback we received from many individuals who purchased the first edition, we have updated the print format and design for a more rapid review. In an era when the doubling time of medical knowledge is estimated to be 73 days, it has become increasingly difficult for even the most diligent resident or practicing physician to stay current. Since the publication of the last edition, we have seen hypofractionation become the standard of care for many patients with breast and prostate cancer, new data guiding the use of stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy across multiple disease sites, an increase in the utilization of advanced treatment planning and delivery techniques, and the rise of immunotherapy, just to name a few. Organized by treatment site, detailed question sets have been thoroughly revised to provide up-to-date information on the natural history, epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, treatment options, and treatment-related side effects for each cancer type. The format has been designed to efficiently test and reinforce knowledge of key concepts, critical studies, and major clinical guidelines, with the most important citations included. From trainees preparing for their board exams to practicing physicians looking for a review or preparing for the maintenance of certification exam, whether it be a few minutes between patients or a dedicated study session, we believe Radiation Oncology Question Review, Second Edition will continue to be an invaluable resource to the radiation oncology community.
