"Excellent chapters cover the major topics in cancer biology and include extensive bibilography sections...Overall this is a well crafted book for graduate students and cancer researchers who wish to learn more about the key concepts and pathways involved in the rapidly advancing field of cancer biology."--Doody's

"Cancer Biology is a single-authored volume that contains nine chapters and over 500 pages of primary text. The author writes from a unique perspective, having assembled the first edition of this book in 1981, and he provides a historical perspective that is unusually appropriate, citing the relevant literature and reproducing some of the figures from 'classic' papers, while at the same time covering more contemporary topics with high scholarship. His narrative is exceptionally well written, interesting, and accessible...Overall, this is an extremely valuable volume that will be of great use to both students and established investigators."--David J. McConkey, MD, as reviewed in The Quarterly Review of Biology
