Recenzje

"The audience is veterinary students and graduate students with an interest in oncology. The book is appropriate for these readers, as well as for clinical practitioners who wish to review information and identify credible resources for further research. This book provides clinically relevant pathophysiology and diagnostic information for tumors that veterinarians regularly encounter. ... The book is enjoyable to read, flows logically and easily, and is organized well." (Lisa J. Schlein, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
