Reviews
"The largest textbook ever published on this topic and a comprehensive reference source on the diagnosis and management of all types of ocular cancers." -- Cole Eye Institute Ophthalmology Update, April 2007 "This outstanding book addresses not only new understanding of basic principles in the etiology of cancer but also the newest clinical diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for all ocular and orbital malignancies. The wide range of authors represented in the book provides a broad international perspective on the management of ophthalmic disease. Short chapters are extremely detailed and well referenced with up-to-date and appropriate evidence based articles. The illustrations, diagrams, and color photographs are of the highest quality and provide clear elucidation of the text. The book is intended for any physician involved in the care of patients with ocular or orbital malignances." - Joan O'Brien, Professor of Ophtalmology - University of California, San Francisco "Clinical Ophtalmic Oncology presents a wealth of information regarding a rapidly advancing ophthalmic specialty. Scientific perspective is strengthened by the expertise of five editors and 124 contributing authors from 18 countries.
