Cellular and Molecular Biology of Cancer is intended to provide a relatively brief yet comprehensive overview of cancer biology that covers the current status of both research and treatment. For the student or new researcher the breadth of cancer research can appear daunting yet a broad
understanding is essential for translation of laboratory findings into the clinic. Each topic is reviewed authoritatively by an expert in the field and the bibliographies provided allow rapid access to the relevant current literature. The fourth edition of this popular text covers topics extending
from the molecular alterations found in cancer cells and their causes to the current range of approaches to treatment. This is intended as a textbook for both undergraduate and postgraduate use and as an introduction for clinicians and scientists new to the field. Since the third edition in 1996
there has been unprecedented progress in cancer research and the extensive revision and many new chapters in the new edition reflect this.

Review:
`This edition is highly recommended to students of cancer, whether they be medical or non-medical scientists, and will take its readers to the leading edge of cancer research ... admirable book.' The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, no. 102, April 1998
`this new edition continues to provide a short but comprehensive introduction to the initiation, development and treatment of cancer' ASLIB, Jan 1998 vol. 62, No. 1
`This edition is highly recommended to students of cancer, whether they be medical or non-medical scientists, and will take its readers to the leading edge of cancer research ... admirable book.'

`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).
`'This is an excellent book...As one who teaches cancer genetics among other things, I greatly welcome a source to which one can recommend students...as ab abtudite ti oredinubabtkt nikecykar stydues...A fascinating read for everyone with an interest (morbid or not) in the subject.'' 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! This book is great!If you are interested in cancer, buy a copy!'' Peter A Hall, Jnl of Pathology 186:(1998)
