Rezensionen

"This is a thoroughly researched and detailed guide for clinicians
on the range of nutrition-related problems in cancer patients and
appropriate interventions. It is comparable to Nutritional
Issues in Cancer Care, Kogut and Luthringer (Oncology Nursing
Society, 2005), but it is more comprehensive and up to date."
(Doody's, 26 August 2011)
