This new edition maintains the objective of the previous editions of providing a relatively brief but comprehensive introduction to the initiation, development, and treatment of cancer. Current techniques in cell and molecular biology have been widely applied to the study of cancer, and the resulting new developments are introduced here. In areas such as genetic and chromosome changes, growth factors, and the biology of human leukemia, where there has been great activity, the relevant chapters have been extensively rewritten, but all the chapters have been reviewed and brought up to date.

`Successive editions of this book have mirrored developments in cancer research and this new edition continues to provide a short but comprehensive introduction to the initiation, development and treatment of cancer.' ASLIB Book Guide, Jan 1998 vol. 63, no.1
`'The first two editions were good: now it is excellent...everything is covered and relevant citations are given. Not only are important basic clinical and pathological issues covered, but so too are all the important areas of tumour biology and the molecular processes and genetics relevant to cancer...I consider this an invaluable book...I intend to advise all my new graduate students and post docs to buy, read, and study a copy...masterfully edited and well-illustrated text. This book is great! I fyou are interested in cancer, buy a copy!'' Peter A. Hall, Jnl of Pathology 186: (1998).

Simon Baumberg, Univ. of Leeds, SGM Quarterly Nov. 1998.
`'...This is a superb introduction to cancer studies for clinicians and is difficult to fault....this must be a bargain hard to beat. I strongly recommend this text for all involved in cancer studies and the care of patients with cancer.'' Crispian Scully, Oral Oncology 34 (1998) 435-436.
`'...in general everything is covered and relevant citations are given. Not only are important basic clinical and pathological issues covered, but so too are all the important areas of tumour biology and the molecular processes and genetics relevant to cancer....The new chapter on screening is excellent-informative, critical, objective, and delivered in a clear and lucid manner...I consider this an invaluable book...Good accessible source of information will be viatal for the remedial teaching of our current students in future years!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Concise introduction to cancer biology,
By "esurace" (Capital Federal Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to the Cellular and Molecular Biology of Cancer (Paperback)
This book is really helpful for understanding the basic molecular and biological principles of neoplasia. It is a good start for those not familiarized with cancer (both students and researchers) since it covers a wide range of subjects from biology of tumor formation and spread to chemotherapy and epidemiology. Highly recommended
