Recenzje

From the book reviews:

"The purpose is to create the first baseline and comprehensive book on UTUC. ... Anyone with an interest or even relatively superficial contact with a patient with UTUC should find this book of interest. Residents and fellows in urology and oncology will find it valuable. ... This book will have a definite role as the initial comprehensive treatise on UTUC." (Demetrius H. Bagley, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2015)
