Recenzje

"This book presents the advances made in cancer diagnosis and treatment using nano drug delivery systems. The subject matter is a complex one as it integrates cancer biology and rapidly growing nanotechnology in cancer diagnosis and treatment. There are many texts in the marketplace related to the topic, but this one is unique because it presents the use of nanomedicine in organ-based cancer diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, it has room for improvement. Though the authors of this book tried to be succinct, further discussions on relevant topics would be appropriate." --Doody
