Rezensionen

"This is the second edition of a practical review and guide to the unique issues facing older patients with urologic issues. The authors successfully summarize the most common urologic issues facing the older population. ... an excellent resource for students, residents, fellows, primary care providers, and urologists who care for older adults. It is a compact, concise reference to help providers care for older patients facing common urologic issues, as well as a deeper dive into decision-making around urologic cancers."
