“Targeted Intraoperative Radiotherapy in Oncology was written by a multidisciplinary panel of experts who have been involved in the development of TARGIT for many years. … this book is easy to read, focused, and accessible to a broad audience. There are chapters of specific interest to radiologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and physicists.” (Cory Donovan and Charlotte Dai Kubicky, Journal of Radiation Oncology, Vol. 4, 2015)
