From the Back Cover

Praise for The Biology and Treatment of Cancer

"In this gem of a book, Pardee, Stein, and their coauthors chronicle the successes in the war against cancer and outline strategies for the future. With astonishing clarity and wisdom, they have distilled the over 1.5 million publications on cancer into a slender, enormously readable volume."
?Mani Menon, MD, FACS, Vattikuti Urology Institute, Henry Ford Hospital

"[This book] does an excellent job of presenting the increasingly complex elements of cancer biology in clear and simple, yet precise and rigorous, language. I recommend it heartily."

"A comprehensive and authoritative review of cancer?its causes, diagnosis, treatments, and prevention. This book [is] useful to healthcare providers as well as the general public."
?Paul A. Marks, MD, former head, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

"A comprehensive primer for cancer patients and their families (or for that matter any non-medical person with an interest in the field) that introduces in a very accessible way the complex science of oncology and its interactions with treatment development."
?Lawrence Recht, MD, Stanford University

"Scientists in both cancer and non-cancer related fields will benefit by reading this book."
