Reviews for Hyperthermia In Cancer Treatment: A Primer

Aus den Rezensionen: Dieses herausragende Fachbuch ... prasentiert auf hochstem Niveau die Beitrage ... Dies ist ... eine Fachenzyklopadie ... Im ersten Teil werden die physikalischen Aspekte und Grundlagen der Hyperthermie dargestellt. ... Der zweite Teil informiert sehr anschaulich und teilweise auch spannend ... uber die biologischen Aspekte der Hyperthermie ... Insgesamt eine sehr gelungene `state of the art' Prasentation aktuellen Wissens zum Thema Hyperthermie ... Fur jeden Anwender der Hyperthermie in der Tumortherapie eigentlich ein Pflichtwerk, eher geeignet zum Nachschlagen und besseren Verstandnis der oft komplizierten Zusammenhange. (Dr. med. Peter Holzhauer, in: Deutsche Zeitschrift fur Onkologie, 2007, Issue 3, S. 143)
