Recenzje

From the reviews: "The focus of this book is on the role and management of human papilloma virus in the male patient. As the title suggests, the primary audience is urologists. ... anyone in obstetrics/gynecology, dermatology, pathology, medical or surgical oncology could find the information helpful. ... This is the only book in the field of urology dedicated to the management of male patients with HPV. ... a very useful reference in the field for those with an interest in oncology or sexually transmitted disease in men."
