Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics
" The book's special appeal lies in its ability to stimulate both learning and investigation, which I hope will be its lasting legacy." Dr Graham Godfrey -The Biologist.Review from first edition: "The author's infectious enthusiasm as a teacher comes across on every page of this beautifully illustrated book.  To guide her readers through this increasingly complex field, she introduces some novel features, including 'Special interest' boxes, sections labelled, 'Pause to think,' well-designed chapter highlights and aids to 'Memory refreshment.' Given the speed of development of this field, the book is remarkably up to date."     --Sir David Weatherall, Emeritus Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford University in THES Textbook Guide - February 2006Reviews of previous edition: "Pecorino gets the balance right between cell and molecular biology, focusing on mechanism rather than disease.  Importantly the students like the text and can afford to buy the book.  Therefore it is a real support to our learning program and actually used by the students."     --Dr Bernard Mahon, Biology Department/Institute of Immunology, National University of Ireland, IrelandReview of previous edition: "The textbook is clearly written and the author does a great job of introducing some of the more fundamental concepts. The book is organized well and the topics flow smoothly and logically.  The book also nicely pulls in current therapeutic approaches with the molecular lesions that are responsible for the generation of cancer."     --Professor Deobrah Vestal, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Toledo, USA."I found this book very very helpful in understanding this otherwise very difficult subject. I think this is the only book which has been written for the learners. The writing style, illustrations and the unique features like 'pause and think' are unprecendented  and very helpful. Lauren Pecorino must be a very good teacher."     --Dr Waqqar Ali, Registrar Radiation Oncology, Cork University Hospital"The textbook is clearly written and the author does a great job of introducing some of the more fundamental concepts.
