  • This book has been constructed as a concise clinical guide to the current management of this tumor
  • Some topics are covered by more than one chapter. This is because we believe that each part of the book should be ‘functionally’ complete to avoid browsing through the pages in search of information that should logically appear also in the chapter the reader is currently reading
  • This book will help our readers to treat their patients better
