Selective Sentinel Lymphadenectomy for Human Solid Cancer

From the reviews: "This is a current comprehensive book on sentinel lymphadenectomy ... . The book is written for the surgeon ... . This includes residents in training, surgical oncology fellows, and practicing surgeons. The written detail, supporting diagrams, and pictures provide a complete practice manual. ... A single book that contains 10 years of journal material is convenient and for those not following the literature invaluable. ... no other book has united several different diseases and explored them through the SLN concept." (Neal Wilkinson, Doody's Electronic Journal, May, 2005)
