Reviews

This book is a worthy update. A significant amount of material has been added, including the new section. It definitely justifies replacing the old edition and will be a valuable resource for physicians of all disciplines involved in the care of these patients. (Doody's, 23 March 2012) The third edition of Malignant Liver Tumors is well written with broad coverage of primary and metastatic liver tumors with a particular emphasis on current and emerging treatment. Consisting of up-to-date and comprehensive reviews on management of hepatic neoplasms, this book will not only be instructive to liver surgeons, trainees, and fellows, but also be valuable to hepatologists, oncologists, and interventional radiologists who form the multidisciplinary team to manage patients with these tumors.
