Reviews

From the reviews:

“Book describes fundamental principles of the management of patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma as well as secondary involvement of CNS by systemic lymphoid neoplasia. … The wealth of scientific work conducted by hematologists, oncologists, pathologists, and other experts in the field has been resynthesized into a state-of-the-art book, which is impressively comprehensive and therefore should find place on the shelf of all medical professionals involved in the care of patients with lymphoproliferative disorders.” (A. Vranovsky, Neoplasma, Issue 1, 2013)

“This concise but comprehensive book details the diagnosis and management of lymphomas and leukemias affecting the nervous system. … this book extracts the important management issues from each specialty and presents them in this single resource. … This book has a broad clinical audience that includes neurologists, hematologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, hematopathologists, and neuroradiologists.” (Amaal Jilani Starling, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2012)
