About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This textbook deals with the staging (TNM), surgical management (open lobectomy vs. VATS lobectomy), the chemoradiotherapy, and other therapies for most forms of lung cancer. It does a good job. … The current literature on lung carcinoma is well described and discussed. I would definitely recommend this book to physicians, oncologists, and CVT surgeons.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
