Reviews

This monograph presents a mainly non-North American approach to pancreatic cancer. ... It appears that the book will primarily be of interest and use to subspecialists for whom pancreatic resection for carcinoma is a routine part of practice. ... This is one of many books in this field. As a review of techniques being investigated in other parts of the world, it may be of interest to specialists.
