“This is a comprehensive overview of all aspects of renal cancer. … The audience encompasses the entire spectrum of clinicians, researchers, and trainees interested in kidney cancer. … The chapters are concise and cogent, with appropriate references and illustrations. This is a concise yet expansive overview of all aspects of renal cancer, and should appeal to a broad audience.” (Edouard Trabulsi, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2013)
