"Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Cancer: Diagnosis and Therapy" is a comprehensive
and definitive discussion of all aspects of the treatment of malignant tumors of

the full arsenal of therapeutic approaches is presented, from the local to
systemic, established to experimental. Segments throughout detail
