Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Lung cancer is a global epidemic ... . Malignant Tumors of the Lung comes at a time when there are more options and perhaps less nihilism in the treatment of this disease. ... The high points of the book are the illustrations, tables and charts. This is essential reading for medical professionals involved in the care of patients with lung cancer." (Nithya Ramnath, Oncology, Vol. 67 (56), 2004)
