内容简介
The Biology of Cancer is a new textbook for undergraduate and graduate biology students as well as medical students studying the molecular and cellular bases of cancer. The book presents the principles of cancer biology in an organized, cogent, and in-depth manner.
This is [an] excellent textbook on the basic biology of cancer.
--Journal of Medicine
Each chapter unfolds as a fascinating tale, from the historical perspective, through key experiments, to interpretation and future challenges. To get a good idea of the magnitude of this book, the reader must look beyond the imagery and illustrations, and read the numerous vignettes highlighted throughout the text, as well as the supplementary sidebars provided on the accompanying CD-ROM. Here Weinberg demonstrates the breadth of his understanding and insight, and discusses the problems still facing us. There is no comparable text in cancer biologyand no single book that is so current and informative. I hope that professionals and students in all spheres of cancer research will get to know The Biology of Cancer.

"The breadth of the topics covered, the clear writing style, the logical organization and the beautiful figures make The Biology of Cancer a classic text for any biologist interested in cancer....An additional strength of the book is the multimedia CD...Thus, The Biology of Cancer is not only a great read but also an outstanding learning tool." -- Nature Cell Biology (November 2007) vol. 9, no. 11

This is an impressively thoughtful, beautifully balanced analysis of where we stand today in the critical attempt to understand, and thereby defeat cancer as a scourge on humanity. Not only is it the perfect text for a serious course on cancer biology, it should be read by every cancer researcher - Bruce Alberts, University of California, San Francisco, USA

The Biology of Cancer, written by the distinguished American cancer biologist Robert Weinberg, is by far the most extensive of these new works and, as the product of a single author, is a remarkable achievement. The book is beautifully illustrated in full colour and well supplied with key review articles. It is extremely well written in language that should be accessible to the non-expert. Overall, this is a remarkable achievement that is by far the most comprehensive coverage of this field available. - The Times Higher Education Supplement, February 23rd 2007
