Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is an up-to-date, scientifically reviewed summary of current treatment options for select GI cancers. Each section stands independently and is well presented, yet brief. ... It is written for clinicians or researchers focusing on clinical cancer treatment. Surgical, medical, and radiation providers will benefit from the topics and presentations. ... The table of contents is a very easy way to identify select sections to address specific situations. ... The literature cited is international and includes both Eastern and Western points of view." (Neal Wilkinson, Doody's Review Service, February, 2013)
