Review

4 STAR REVIEW!

"This is an excellent reference for fellows and other clinicians caring for patients with breast disease. Its main advantages over similar books are the breadth of coverage as well as the quality of information and analysis. The previous edition was published four years ago, a long time in the rapidly changing field of breast oncology, and this new edition is certainly warranted." - Ingrid M Lizarraga, MBBS, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, on behalf of Doody's Review
