`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.' James Underwood, University of Sheffield Medical School, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, no. 102, April 1998
`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 excellenteverything 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 cancerI consider this an invaluable bookI intend to advise all my new graduate students and post docs to buy, read, and study a copymasterfully 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 bookAs one who teaches cancer genetics among other things, I greatly welcome a source to which one can recommend studentsas ab abtudite ti oredinubabtkt nikecykar styduesA 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 mannerI consider this an invaluable bookGood accessible source of information will be viatal for the remedial teaching of our current students in future years!

Product Description
This new edition maintains the objective of the previous editions of providing a relatively brief but comprehensive introduction to the initiation, development, and treatment of cancer. Current techniques in cell and molecular biology have been widely applied to the study of cancer, and the resulting new developments are introduced here. In areas such as genetic and chromosome changes, growth factors, and the biology of human leukemia, where there has been great activity, the relevant chapters have been extensively rewritten, but all the chapters have been reviewed and brought up to date.
