About this book
Reviews
“This is primarily a discussion of the background of emerging cancer research and the development of cancer research collaboration in Africa. Minor parallels to AIDS research are noted. One unique element is a list recounting the history of national oncology research in the U.S. … The intended audience is healthcare practitioners interested in global healthcare, funding agencies in developed countries, and policymakers in resource-poor settings.” (Vu-Thuy T Nguyen, Doody's Book Reviews, April 26, 2019)
