Reviews

"This is a comprehensive reference on the diagnosis, workup, and management of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma. ... This book is geared toward rising urology trainees and serves as a shelf reference for practicing urologists. ... This book is both comprehensive and easy to read. It is a nearly white-coat pocket sized and easy to transport. Budding urologists and practitioners need no other book on upper tract urothelial cancer." (Andrew Pridjian, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)
