Introduction to Cancer Biology
"Cancer biology and cancer medicine are broad and extensive fields with fast moving research developing new knowledge of many aspects of cancer.  Modern technologies are increasing the pace of acquisition of new knowledge and contributing to real progress in managing patients.Robin Hesketh has produced a remarkable Introduction to Cancer Biology   which covers all of the key areas of current knowledge and brings them   up to date with current research concepts and developments.  He writes in an accessible way that will be valuable for students fresh to biology but also produces a book that will be very useful to experienced biologists and physicians who want to have to hand a broad overview of this fast moving and diverse field.The structure of the book is clear and informative and encompasses critically important biological knowledge from the level of the cell to population studies in epidemiology. The appendices are very useful providing ready access to information on most common cancer and most of the major tabulations of existing knowledge that we may need.In the era of internet access and publication databases, it is very challenging to introduce a book which is really useful both for new students and established practitioners.  Robin Hesketh has succeeded remarkably well in doing so."Professor Peter Selby, Director of the Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine"The structure of the book is clear and well organized. The author writes well, giving excellent explanations of concepts ranging from basic principles to cutting-edge research. The book is a valuable resource for introducing lower-level students to the biology of cancer. Highly recommended."H. Zhou, Seton Hall University for Choice Magazine
