Reviews

From the reviews:“This is a short description of the history of the radiation oncology department at the Massachusetts General Hospital. … Readers who have a particular interest in MGH, mostly those who have trained there, are the most likely readers to enjoy this work … . There is no comparable book; it will be of interest primarily to those individuals associated with MGH and its trainees.” (James G. Douglas, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2012)
