Product Review
"This is a well written and interesting book that many non-specialists will find interesting and educational."
Immunology
"Excellent introductory text that can be recommended to both undergraduates and postgraduates in the biological sciences."
The Times Higher Education Supplement
"an excellent textbook aimed at the undergraduate. It is easy to see how a young biology major taking this course could become interested in cancer research or cancer medicine."
Paul P. Carbone, Director Emeritus of the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center
