Reviews

From the book reviews: The target audience is researchers, clinicians, trainees, allied health professionals, and medical students. Given the emphasis and specificity of the chapters on early stage bladder cancer, this book seems most geared to urologists and urology trainees. ... This is a very easy to use, clearly and expertly written, case- and clinical scenario-based reference that will be helpful to all who treat and study bladder cancer. (Jean Hoffman-Censits, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2015)
