Reviews
""This book is evidence based and highly reliable, and its recommendations leave room for, and give credence to, clinical judgment, which is always a critical component in palliative oncology...There are very few resources available like this, and this is the first handbook of its kind. I am sure that it will be a highly useful resource for those seeking a quick but comprehensive overview of palliative radiation. Score: 89 - 3 Stars"" --Doody's
