About this book
Reviews
Finalist for the Book of the Year Award, Health Science Books, 2001.-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
"The topics covered are broad and, appropriately for a book concerned with techniques and protocols, the text is very detailed in places. There are chapters on analysis of gene expression, isolation of tumor suppression genes in melanoma, characterization of melanoma antigens, differential display analysis, and techniques that aim to reflect the extent of disease based on analyses of lymph node material and blood. All of these topics are important for those who want to be at the margin of advances in research. . .anybody interested in melanoma research or therapy should ensure the book is in their university or departmental library."-Journal of Investigative Dermatology
"This book focuses on the most important molecular advances in melanoma epidemiology, carcinogenesis, diagnosis, pathology, and treatment. It uniquely provides state-of-the-art molecular techniques to allow novel and reproducible investigation by melanoma researchers worldwide. . .The book is directed towards clinicians and diagnosticians (dermatologists, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists) with a dedicated, academic melanoma practice and to basic science investigators studying the molecular biology, tumor immunology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of melanoma. The author has assembled a team of renowned molecular biologists and melanoma experts to contribute to the text and is a credible authority on the subject matter. . .Four main areas addressing melanoma biology, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring from the molecular level to the clinical level comprise the book. It focuses on modern genomics and specific molecular techniques such as cDNA microarray, differential display analysis, in situ hybridization, gene therapy, RT-PCR analysis, peptide-MHC tetramer assay, and gel electrophoresis, and provides state-of-the artmelanoma research. Most importantly, it provides specific scientific protocols to ensure reproducibility in other laboratories. . .The book is far-reaching in its goal of enhancing the investigative efforts of melanoma researchers worldwide to promote chances of clinical breakthroughs in the field of melanoma."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
"Comprehensive and highly instructive, this volume offers clinicians and basic scientists concerned with malignant melanoma both rich new clinical perspectives and the wide ranging experimental protocols essential for achieving more rapid breakthroughs in this near-epidemic disease." - Anticancer Research
"...anybody interested in melanoma research or therapy should ensure the book is in their university and departmental library." -Journal of Investigative Dermatology
"Comprehensive and highly instructive, Melanoma Techniques and Protocols: Molecular Diagnosis, Treatment, and Monitoring offers clinicians and basic scientists concerned with malignant melanoma both rich new clinical perspectives and the wide-ranging experimental protocols essential for achieving more rapid breakthroughs in this near-epidemic disease." -Tumori
"The book represents an outstanding work, which should not be missed in all laboratories dealing with melanoma as well as in all departments where melanoma patients are diagnosed and treated." -Neoplasma
"This book on the biology, immunology, pathology and microbiology of melanoma deserves a place in the library of all units with a specific interest in melanoma research and management...recommended for anybody working in the field of microbiology. It gives a good overview of the entire field of melanoma microbiology and enables those with a specialised interest in a specific area of microbiology to review and utilise the work of other researchers in this importatn and rapidly developing field." -Cancer Forum
"Comprehensive and highly instructive, Melanoma Techniques and Protocols: Molecular Diagnosis, Treatment, and Monitoring offers clinicians and basic scientists concerned with malignant melanoma both rich new clinical perspectives and the wide ranging experimental protocols essential for achieving more rapid breakthroughs in this near-epidemic disease." -Tumori
