Summary: Thumbs up.
Comment: Great text for any graduate student to get an understanding of the genetics of cancer. This book has something in it for everybody and is divided into the following areas: Basic concepts, cell cycle control, familial cancer syndromes and cancers by site.

It is a great text for a graduate student interested in cancer and does proved a very extensive introduction for an advanced student. It is an excellent source of reviews for a graduate student. It's of course not recommended for any lay audience. I use it often as great reference. The drawback is that it is not a good introductory text but one that would help you build upon your previous understanding and looks at the subject area quite in-depth.

Summary: Decent job trying to review all of cancer
Comment: First of all I was dissapointed there were no color illustrations. The book is broken up into first, a few chapters on basic concepts in cancer. Next, chapters which deal with Familial cancers (like bloom's syndrome or Ataxia-telaniectasia, or breast cnacer) and then chapters on cancers by general location(stomach, lung). It is definitely a book for a more professional audience. The chapter's do a decent job reviewing the clinical aspects each cancer type. The molecular biology is at times too in depth and at other times already showing its age. We used some chapters from this book as reviews for a course I was taking in grad. school. Overall I thought it was pretty interesting.
