Pathobiology of Human Germ Cell Neoplasia

Pathobiology of Human Germ Cell Neoplasia edited by J. Wolter Oosterhuis, Heinrich Walt, Ivan Damjanov.

Pathobiology of Human Germ Cell Neoplasia is a state-of-the-art compendium on a very recent branch of tumor biology. It offers an awareness and understanding of germ cell tumors: from the earliest stages to their va- rious differentiations. Original data for this volume was supplied by experts in th...
