Recenzii
“Brain Tumors in Children would be an excellent resource for residents and fellows with an interest in pediatric neurosurgery or neuro-oncology or for allied health providers seeking a broad background in pediatric brain tumors. More senior practitioners whose routine practice is not oncological may find this a useful reference as well.” (Karl Balsara, Neurosurgery, Vol. 85 (2), August, 2019)
