Reviews

“This monograph presents a mainly non‐North American approach to pancreatic cancer. … It appears that the book will primarily be of interest and use to subspecialists for whom pancreatic resection for carcinoma is a routine part of practice. … This is one of many books in this field. As a review of techniques being investigated in other parts of the world, it may be of interest to specialists.” (Carol Scott‐Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
