Review:
"The book fulfills its purpose and is, indeed, a must-read for students of cancer biology...It includes updated information and concepts in cancer research that justify replacing the previous edition." - Doody Reviews "This publication represents an exhaustive and detailed coverage of the field of basic oncology oriented toward a student audience, and it continues to set the highest example of excellence in the field of undergraduate and graduate oncology." - The Quarterly Review of Biology "Clearly, not only is it an authoritative text book on the complex biology of cancer, it serves as an invaluable reference document for individuals working in biomedical laboratories as well as professionals involved in day to day management of cancer in the clinics." - Oncology News Praise for the First Edition of THE BIOLOGY OF CANCER by Robert A. Weinberg: "There is no comparable text in cancer biology..." - Nature "The Biology of Cancer is no doubt the definitive statement on its topic today." - Science "Here, at last, we have a definitive textbook specifically devoted to the molecular and cell biology of cancer." - Bioscience Education "Overall, this is a remarkable achievement that is by far the most comprehensive coverage of this field available." - Times Higher Education Supplement
