المراجعة التحريرية | Overall, this is a nice reference for all clinicians treating cancer patients, in terms of the best data and rationales for appropriate imaging for staging, treatment response, and surveillance in cancer care. I have not seen a similar comprehensive imaging book aimed at treating clinicians rather than radiologists. New editions should include updated technologies or imaging algorithms as they become available.- Sarah Blair, MD (University of California San Diego School of Medicine) Doody Review Services |
