Reviews

The goal is to provide a reference work on the current state of the art in renal cell carcinoma treatment and a framework for the next great advances. The audience is those engaged in research into, or clinical care of patients with, renal cell carcinoma. It is likely most appropriate for residents and higher levels of training in the fields of nephrology, urology, and oncology. ... I would recommend this for trainees/mentors on this important topic. (Jon Webb, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2016)
