About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book addresses a serious public health issue -- obesity and how it affects the incidence, treatment, and outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies. … It targets researchers in the obesity-cancer field, clinicians, pharmacists, and ancillary caregivers. … a good resource for select patient populations. … The book has enough diagrams and tables to give a visual depiction of what the text is explaining. … I am not aware of any other book that addresses the issue of obesity and hematological malignancies in this detail.” (Kehinde Adekola, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2012)
