It consists of 401 pages in Portuguese, covering the history, theories, physioIogy, histoIogy, pathology, diagnosis and surgica1 procedures of this annoying esophagea1 maIady or Iesion. Were it not for the Iinguistic problem, this book shouId be in every medica man’s library. NevertheIess, thoracic surgeons wouId do we11 to familiarize themselves with this important TRATAMIENTO monograph. H. Bisi, M.D.
This monograph on the surgica1 treatment of cancer of the Iarynx is very impressive in scope and wealth of detail. The detaiIed iIIustrations are very cIear and instructive. It deaIs thoroughly with the indications for operative and non-operative intervention of IaryngeaI cancer. Many usefu1 points are given as to the pre- and pdstoperative care in Iaryngectomy.
