About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book under review is definitely the best book on Molecular Biology of Cancer. … It is very well written, clear, with several examples and of easy comprehension. I suggest this book to you if you are interested in to study all the tricks of the molecular mechanisms of cancer. … The books is a necessary reading for all medical and biological students interested in Cancer and it will become the reference on the subject.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, December, 2013)
"I have found this to be a comprehensive, yet highly focused text on malignancies. Dr. Weber’s work covers nicely the interface of physiology and molecular mechanisms in the development and maintenance of malignant cells. The review of the founding pathologic observations is useful in providing a backdrop for today’s highly molecular approaches. A deep understanding of the molecular workings of malignant disease is critical to the development of not only therapeutics, but also diagnostics and I have found this text to be highly relevant as a resource to these ends". (Gary A. Pestano, PhD, Director, Discovery Life Sciences, Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., Tucson, Arizona USA)
"Whereas the field of cancer research has increased in complexity over the past decades, this book presents a comprehensive compendium of molecular mechanisms of malignancy and reflects the author's unique vision on pathophysiologic associations that may define general molecular requirements of invasive tumors. This book reaches beyond the current view and understanding of molecular mechanisms of malignancies and prompts the reader to reflect on the current knowledge from a different angle". (Professor Dr. med. H.-P. Bruch, Head of the Department of Surgery, Klinik fuer Chirurgie, Univeritatsklinikum, Schleswig-Holstein, Luebeck, Germany)
