Rezensionen

"This is a welcome update given the advances in our understanding of cancer and its treatment. ... best suited for oncologists, general neurologists, neurology residents, and neuro-oncologists, given the topics. Clinicians who are involved in the care of patients with cancer and the care of patients with neurological complications of cancer and its treatment will find this to be a useful reference. ... There are few books on this topic aimed at general neurologists, and this book addresses that need." (Rashmi B. Halker Singh, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2018)
