From the reviews:
"The Encyclopedic Reference of Cancer is a landmark achievement in the domain of cancer research. I am pleased to have been asked to participate as it includes contributions from leading cancer experts world-wide. This reference book will set new standards and will be very useful for scientists and clinical oncologists alike." Paul Kleihues, M.D., Director - International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France.
"This reference text is designed to close the language gap between clinical and basic scientists and provide basic information to students and the informed layperson. ... The format is reader-friendly, consistent and well-presented. ... the encyclopaedia is a useful reference text not only for clinical investigators but also for basic research scientists ... and, as designed, an excellent reference for students. The book is accompanied by a useful CD-ROM ... ." (Cancer Forum, Vol. 26 (2), 2002)
"The Encyclopaedic Reference of Cancer ... spans a wide range of topics. The entries are divided into brief definitions and short essays and were written by an almost three hundred authors. Topics are accessed by looking up keywords; from a brief definition ... further related entries can be identified by following links to highlighted keywords ... . In many subject areas this system is comprehensive, allows effective coverage of a subject and greatly aids understanding of the notoriously complex and varied nomenclature of cancer." (Dr. A. Sinclair, European Journal of Cancer & Clinical Oncology, January, 2002)
