"This is the third edition of a now-standard reference on a highly specialized subject. The author has thoroughly updated the material and, by adding new topics relevant to the changes in oncologic management and some specific techniques, has produced a book that amply justifies replacing the previous edition. It will be of value to specialists and trainees alike."
