Rezensionen
From the book reviews:
"This brief book addresses current research and practice in the treatment of local, locally advanced, and metastatic lung cancer. ... The audience appears to be experienced clinical and research thoracic surgeons and radiation and medical oncologists with a special interest in the critically important topic of treatment of lung cancer. It should also be of great value to trainees in these fields. ... Chapters in this book are scholarly, encyclopedic in scope, and provide comprehensive bibliographic references."
