Rezensionen
From the reviews:
"This thorough reference, although it covers nearly every imaginable aspect of retinoblastoma, is ... a concise and easy read. ... this book is a wonderful introduction to retinoblastoma for physicians in training. The authors have successfully achieved their goal of compiling a comprehensive book addressing the history, diagnosis, treatment, and future research in this field. ... This is a valuable addition to the literature, providing as it does a single resource that addresses the complexities of treating retinoblastoma." (Christina H. Choe, Doody's Review Service, October, 2010)
