From the book reviews:
“The purpose is to create the first baseline and comprehensive book on UTUC. … Anyone with an interest or even relatively superficial contact with a patient with UTUC should find this book of interest. Residents and fellows in urology and oncology will find it valuable. … This book will have a definite role as the initial comprehensive treatise on UTUC.” (Demetrius H. Bagley, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2015)()
