Reviews

"From the Foreword For the clinician involved in the management of lung cancer, this book is an invaluable resource. Because of our increasing workloads, we have considerable difficulty in collecting and assimilating, on our own, the critical information necessary to provide the best possible care for patients. The well-organized and thoughtful presentations in Controversies in Lung Cancer will help the multidisciplinary team of lung cancer physicians and nurses to achieve their primary objectives"-to improve not only the quantity, but also the quality, of life for patients with lung cancer. -Philip Bonomi, M.D. Director, Section of Medical Oncology Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center Chicago, Illinois
