Críticas

"A valuable quick reference for medical students, general practitioners and medical oncologists, as well as urologists ... especially well suited for medical students who are interested in the field of urology as well as those urologists or oncologists still in training, as it provides a solid framework for the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer ... This can be an excellent resource for those interested in a rapid but useful reference on prostate cancer." Xiaolong Shawn Liu, MD, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA, for Doody's Review Service, February 2014 "This is an excellent resource. It provides a thorough and up to date review of prostate cancer and its management, at all stages of the patient pathway. A very useful, contemporary reference for practitioners working in prostate cancer care." -- Catherine Holborn, Senior Lecturer in Radiotherapy & Oncology, Course Leader for the MSc Prostate Cancer Care, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
