Rezensionen

"The current edition builds on the strength of the previouseditions ... .Overall, the book was well planned. Each chapteris a concise review of the recent literature, with detailedreferences. Where warranted, there are tables, black-and-whitediagrams, and photographs that expand on the information providedin the text. This well-organized book will be useful topulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists, medicaloncologists, and others with an interest in lung cancer."(New England Journal of Medicine, December 2008)

"One of the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatisesthat I have surveyed ... .I would recommend the book highly toanyone in allied disciplines." (Doody's Book Reviews)
