Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book begins by giving a brief description of the long history of observations and research … into the existence of a negative correlation between the frequency of allergies and the incidence of cancer, as well as a history of allergy research in general. … the new concept of AllergoOncology, as introduced in this book, is a provocative one … . a well-written and presented book introducing a new concept in cancer immunology, as well as a comprehensive description of IgE biology in general.” (Andrew T. Vaughan, Immunology News, February, 2011)
“This book represents a description of how IgE antibodies may play a role protecting against cancer development and progression. … The audience for this book includes oncologists, allergists, and researchers, as well as students and fellows. It has a place in any health sciences library. … It is well written and full of thoughtful points and it would be a useful addition to the library of an educational institution or to the laboratory of researchers interested in this topic.” (Marion C. Cohen, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2010)
