Rezensionen
"It offers a succinct summary of the current evidence and research - past and present - which is continually informing our surgical, radiological, pathological and oncological practices. ... this book is also a tribute to our determination to refine and transform TNBC into a treatable entity. ... The target audience is the medical oncologist, fellow in training and any healthcare professional." (Jasmin Lee, Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, Issue. 183, July, 2018)

"The guide is quite specialized and is written with practicing oncologists, fellows, and oncology nurses in mind. ... this excellent book is rather unique because it is a practical handbook ... scholarly treatise on the subject. It is a pleasure to read and a worthwhile addition to the personal collection of every medical oncologist treating this disease." (Ravi Salgia, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2018)
