Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This informative introduction to hereditary cancer syndromes is entirely appropriate for physicians and other clinicians who are not geneticists. It provides a thorough overview of hereditary cancer, detailing the core principles of cancer syndromes, which is extremely useful … in medicine today. … The book is intended for physicians … in genetics and hereditary cancer. … a much-needed overview of cancer syndromes for clinicians practicing outside the realm of hereditary cancer.” (Heather H. Wetzel, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2011)
