New Textbook: Finger’s Essential Ophthalmic Oncology

The First edition of Finger’s Essential Ophthalmic Oncology: Principals and Practice is now published. My intention was to provide a unique text that ranges between foundational and aspirational elements. A resource that would both elevate and entertain eye cancer specialists, ophthalmologists, oncologists, and radiation therapists. Above all, I wanted this book to be useful for the care of patients. Therefore, you will find chapters ranging from eye tumor-specific methods of examination, informed consent, treatment (pharmacologic, surgical, radiological) and systemic follow up. These chapters include mind-map pathways to help organize your clinical care decision making. This text pushes further to explore and explain the need for universal eye cancer staging, local and international cooperation, education and outreach.
