Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This informative introduction to hereditary cancer syndromes is entirely appropriate for physicians and other clinicians who are not geneticists. It provides a thorough overview of hereditary cancer, detailing the core principles of cancer syndromes, which is extremely useful ... in medicine today. ... The book is intended for physicians ... in genetics and hereditary cancer. ... a much-needed overview of cancer syndromes for clinicians practicing outside the realm of hereditary cancer." (Heather H. Wetzel, Doody's Review Service, February, 2011)
