Recensione

This paperback is packed with valuable information and useful resources, and will no doubt be very helpful for resident doctors and other new entrants to the specialty to get a quick overview of breast cancer management. This is not to say that experienced oncologists who care for patients with breast cancer will not find anything useful in this book. The Lancet Oncology, November 2005
