More Description

The Biology of Cancer is a new textbook for undergraduate and graduate biology students as well as medical students studying the molecular and cellular bases of cancer. The book presents the principles of cancer biology in an organized, cogent, and in-depth manner. This is [an] excellent textbook on the basic biology of cancer. --Journal of Medicine   Each chapter unfolds as a fascinating tale, from the historical perspective, through key experiments, to interpretation and future challenges.  To get a good idea of the magnitude of this book, the reader must look beyond the imagery and illustrations, and read the numerous vignettes highlighted throughout the text, as well as the supplementary sidebars provided on the accompanying CD-ROM. Here Weinberg demonstrates the breadth of his understanding and insight, and discusses the problems still facing us. There is no comparable text in cancer biologyand no single book that is so current and informative. I hope that professionals and students in all spheres of cancer research will get to know The Biology of Cancer . Nature, November 30, 2006, Vol 444 The Biology of Cancer is no doubt the definitive statement on its topic today. SCIENCE, 11 August 2006, Vol 313, Issue 5788
