“This book is written for residents and fellows who are focused on advancing their knowledge in the care of breast cancer, as well as for staff clinicians, such as general surgeons, who routinely care for breast cancer patients but need a succinct guide to quickly determine the most appropriate next steps in patient care.” (Anna C Beck, Doody’s Book Reviews, April 17, 2020)
