About this book

(Review from JAMA)

Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon neoplasm usually associated with exposure to asbestos. Because of its low incidence, thorough reviews of the topic are hard to find.

Harvey Pass and colleagues have edited an up-to-date, comprehensive book that includes a wide range of information, from a historical perspective to descriptions of the latest treatment. The authors . . . have written chapters on the carcinogenesis, molecular genetics, and clinical aspects of mesothelioma. Malignant Mesothelioma is suitable for a broad audience. Laboratory researchers will use it as a resource for information about the pathogenesis, animal models, molecular genetics, and cell lines of mesothelioma. . . . Clinicians will benefit from this complete guide to the presentation, prognosis, imaging, and treatment of the disease. I highly recommend this book to all who are interested in mesothelioma.

"Malignant Mesothelioma is an uncommon neoplasm usually associated with exposure to asbestos. … Harvey Pass and colleagues have edited an up-to-date, comprehensive book that includes a wide range of information, from a historical perspective to descriptions of the latest treatment. … Laboratory researchers will use it as a resource for information … of mesothelioma. … Clinicians will benefit from this complete guide ... . I highly recommend this book to all those who are interested in mesothelioma." (Julie R. Brahmer, The New England Journal of Medicine, March, 2006)

"This is a reference book suitable for departmental and medical libraries and for the shelves of those who have a particular clinical or research interest in mesothelioma … . Pass, Vogelzang and Carbone envisioned a comprehensive text and have achieved it. … To be useful such a book must be well indexed; and this is. The individual chapters are well referenced … . The text is well edited … . This is a quality production. … Overall it is highly recommended." (Michael Byrne, CancerForum, Vol. 30 (3), November, 2006)
