Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Renal-Cell Carcinoma, a Malignant Tumor that is associated with a poor prognosis, is difficult to diagnose in its early stages and difficult to treat successfully. This book provides an overview of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of this type of tumor. ... They aim the book primarily at urologists and urologic oncologists ... . The accompanying radiographic figures vividly clarify the role that medical imaging plays in diagnosis and staging." (Robert J. Motzer, The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 360 (18), April, 2009)
