Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This volume in the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series reports on the proceedings of the second International IFOM-IEO Meeting on Cancer. The book details the latest and most important findings in molecular oncology ... . The editors have done a very nice job ... . Most chapters are reasonably well referenced and of appropriate length, and many contain helpful illustrations. The thorough index makes the book easy to navigate. This excellent volume is appropriate for oncologists, pharmacologists, and cancer biologists." (John D. Robertson, Doody's Review Service, July, 2008)
