    '...a unique resource. It is comprehensive but compact. The writing is lucid and comprehensible. It is a welcome addition to the larger, more specialty-oriented books in the field' - Doody Publishing Review

    'Despite the complexity of the subject and the comprehensive treatment, Brennan and Lewis have transformed what could have been simply one more desiccated medical textbook into a compellingly simple and readable reference. It ranks as a "must have" for any surgical oncologist or radiation oncologist. Highly recommended' - Annals of Surgery
