Reviews

“This is a comprehensive treatise on the multidisciplinary management of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). It has been written primarily for medical oncologists and gastroenterologists with an interest in NETs. … This book aims to provide current knowledge on various aspects of treatment of patients with NET that is easily understandable by the readers. The authors have succeeded in providing a source of updated information for physicians involved in caring for such patients.” (Sujoy Pal, The National Medical Journal of India, Vol. 28 (2), 2015)“This is a high yield, contemporary summary of the treatment of pancreatic and gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (P-NETS, GI-NETS). … This book is ideal for medical oncologists, endocrinologists, radiation oncologists, and surgeons who care for these patients, both attending and fellow level practitioners. … This is a unique book - there are not many like it in the field. It is a high-yield book that does not replicate other publications.” (James J. Mezhir, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2014)
