"This well written book by experts provides a detailed view of an emergent endotherapy with the potential of avoiding unnecessary surgeries to remove superficial GI tumors. It would be a useful consultation source in a field in which this type of review is rare, and it includes details of the techniques, which are usually not reported in scientific articles." (Luis R. Pena, MD, FACG, AGAF, @Doody's Review Service)
