Reviews

The book is written at multiple levels, so that it provides very useful information about health economics for oncology and the factors that drive policy in a fashion that would be useful for training oncologists, senior nurses, physicians, administrators, and, importantly, policymakers and the medical advisors of politicians. ... I recommend this book highly to medical librarians. (Derek Raghavan, Doody's Book Reviews, August 30, 2019)
