`Like the preceeding four volumes of this series, this is a book of both information and reference that is a must for every research oncologist. The price is acceptable in view of the high informative value '
`The breadth and comprehensiveness of the entire series are amazing. ...This series is comprehensive, and the quality of science, writing, and graphics is maintained to the highest standards throughout the series. Finally, it is rewarding to find an entire series in which the clinical and basic sciences receive equal treatment and the subject matter is understandable to both the clinician and the basic science researcher.'
