“This is a nice overview of highlights of kidney cancer management that covers a broad range of topics from diagnoses to treatment in eight well-organized sections. … The intended audience is residents and attendings, but the book is useful for urology students, residents, and fellows. … This is a good quality book that can be useful as an educational tool for trainees.” (Brian Shuch, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2018)
