Reviews
From the reviews:
"The authors succinctly accomplish their task of summarizing and discussing all facets of hepatic radioembolization in the first book specifically on this topic. … for readers at any level from medical student to advanced practitioner interested in the treatment of liver tumors using radioembolization. … The chapters are concise, well organized and presented in appropriate order which helps readers master this important but complex field of therapy. The images are of excellent quality. … This book provides excellent references as well." (Dan A. Devun, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)
