Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This comprehensive review of breast cancer treatments, past and present, provides insight into the new, and sometimes controversial, aspects of those treatments. ... Although intended for practitioners and students, it is most suitable for surgical practitioners, specifically surgeons who specialize in, or have an interest in, the treatment of patients with breast cancer. ... This is an excellent and thorough overview of the past and present treatments for breast cancer, with references to both landmark historical trials and new data." (Sarah E. Colwick, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2014)
