Recensione:

From the reviews:

“The book has 15 chapters, divided into five parts. In addition there are seven appendices. There are 25 contributors, all from USA. ... This is an excellent review of oncofertility, not only for gynecologists, but also for other specialties handling children and reproductive age men and women with cancer.” (Tom Tanbo, AOGS Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Vol. 92 (1), January, 2013)

“Oncofertility Medical Practice: Clinical Issues and Implementation has successfully contrived to bring together an understanding of the theoretical principles of gonadal effects of cancer therapy with all the clinical and practical aspects of fertility preservation for cancer survivors. The book should be read by both oncologist and fertility specialists, as it presents clearly the degree of overlap that is required by the different healthcare providers to achieve a meaningful outcome for the cancer patient. ... This is a comprehensive and very well-written book ... .” (Nivedita Reddy, The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Vol. 15 (2), 2013)
