Book SynopsisLater chapters focus on tumors of the liver, kidney, lung, and bone, placing new interventional techniques in context by referring to the surgical and oncologic methods of treating the same conditions.
Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:
“The authors explore in detail the wide variety of procedures in the emerging field of interventional oncology … . To my knowledge, this is the only book devoted solely to this field. … This is perfect as a single source of information for clinical interventional radiologists wanting more specific details on novel techniques and new indications. The busy medical, radiation, and surgical oncology services also will find the book a helpful source of technical detail, new indications, and limitations.” (Neal Wilkinson, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2012)
