About this title

Review

Respiratory Care, Volume 51, Issue 7 -- "Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in both men and women in the United States. This unfortunate truth underscores the importance of creating a comprehensive text devoted to what is also considered a global epidemic. This third edition of Lung Cancer clearly represents that work. The need for a top-to-bottom revision reflects the rapid evolution of all aspects of this field. With this new edition the authors clearly intended to provide us with the latest and most relevant information, and they recruited active researchers and thought-leaders to write the chapters. The fact that approximately 50% of these contributing authors are new from the previous edition is a reflection of that intention. The text is well-organized, and easy to search and extract information, helped by its detailed 26 page index. This reference belongs on the office shelves of all providers who care for people with lung cancer."
