"This book covers upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in a concise, yet encyclopedic manner. ? This is likely to be useful to a wide range of practitioners in the field of urology, from general urologists to urologic oncologists. ? This book does fill a relative void in this important aspect of urothelial carcinoma of the upper tract." (Ashish Kamat, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2016)
