A Comprehensive Team Approach
edited by Giuliano Mariani
Radioguided Surgery: A Comprehensive Team Approach provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of radioguided surgery, from training and radiation protection to sentinel lymph node biopsy and non-sentinel lymph node applications for various cancers, tumors and lesions.
More than a hundred illustrations, including a full-color insert, help to facilitate understanding of new concepts.
Features:
- Multidisciplinary approach makes it the standard handbook on the subject
- Geared for use by many physicians who are involved in the care of cancer patients, including general surgeons, nuclear medicine physicians, oncologists, and pathologists
- Contributors to this book represent key members of the care team and include some of the most prestigious names in the field
- A wealth of illustrations, including a full-color insert, enhances the application of new concepts
