Complete and Well Written, June 7, 2006
This review is from: The Molecular Biology of Cancer (Paperback)
There are any number of books on cancer from little phamplets for the new patient to heavy duty books that summarize the current research going on in specialized areas.
This book is aimed at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student with some background in biology. It covers cancer from nearly every aspect. It begins with a general introduction to cancer and its impact from around the world. It goes on to cover the current state of research in every significant area. The writers are a who's who of cancer researchers, where each major subject area is written by a specialist in that area.
The editors are researchers in their own right. They jointly run the cancer research group at the University of Warwick which has produced significant findings. For a book written in this manner, this book is surprisingly well written and understandable. This is the job of a good editor and they have done it well.
