Review Quotes: ...a well-edited book such as this, with contributions from recognized leaders in the field, fills an especially important niche when the results of every clinical trial are but a few mouse clicks away. It provides a tangible way for clinicians who are inundated with information to gain perspective on the relative importance of research studies and to find out how and why some therapies have become standard whereas others have remained controversial.' Deborah Schrag in The New England Journal of Medicine, 341:16 (1999) ... For these reasons, it can be recommended to both an audience of general oncologists and specialists in the field.' P. Saletti in Annals of Oncology, 10: (1999)
