Review: This undergraduate textbook is listed by the US Cancer Institute for all those who want to learn about cancer. It covers everything from the molecular basis of cancer to clinical aspects of the subject. This new edition has been revised and updated. A new introduction, in the form of case study letters illustrating the clinical aspects of cancer is followed by chapters on: cancer pathology; metastasis; carcinogenesis; oncogenes and tumour suppressants; epidemiology; and the biological basis of cancer treatment. The Appendix gives detailed descriptions of selected tumours.
