Recenzje

'Comprehensive Geriatric Oncology attempts to review all aspects of the topic. It offers a broad array of material on carcinogenesis and treatment of cancer in elderly persons and includes many excellent reference citations. The chapters on the physiology of aging, new antineoplastic agents of interest to elderly persons, chronic lymphoid leukemias, and lung cancer are concise, clear and comprehensive.' - Annals of Internal Medicine (of the first edition)

'...I view this book as a very useful contribution to the field and, much like the discipline of geriatric oncology itself, as a work in progress.... It is a book well worth having in the case of oncologists and generalists alike.' - New England Journal of Medicine (of the first edition)
