Reviews

The audience includes students of urology no matter the level of training or experience. ... This is a useful book that provides a broad and through overview of kidney cancer. The book is well designed to be used on an as-needed basis or read from beginning to end. It is unique as few books are dedicated to inclusively cover all relevant topics of kidney cancer. (James R Mark, Doody's Book Reviews, July 3, 2020)
