Reviews

The editors and their contributors have provided an extraordinarily readable fascicle that is clearly also a scholarly text. They are to be congratulated in updating numerous details in these important areas in both a comprehensive and readily attainable manner. The use of this fascicle can be highly recommended to those already knowledgeable and well-established in the clinical and research areas of these organ systems as well as those at an earlier stage in their career who seeks to expand their knowledge and understanding.--Michael J. Droller, M.D., Katherine and Clifford Goldsmith Professor of Urology, Professor of Oncology, Mount Sinai
