Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is a slim, handy book with 5 chapters of 112 pages, including the index. … appeal to a broad audience, whether expert or generalist, trainee or experienced … Cancer Genetics provides the fundamental principles of evidence-based translational human genetics as well as the basic knowledge to judge for oneself the who, what, when, where, why, and how of cancer genetics and genomics as relevant to clinical practice.” (Charis Eng, Journal of the American Medical Association, June, 2011)

“Provides comprehensive information on several selected topics … covered by recent cancer genetics field. … highly recommended to all with interest in the genetic components of cancer, mainly those of breast, gastric and colorectal, as well as pediatric cancers. … frame of specific cancer type may be interesting also for more broad range of readers. … The outline of challenges in understanding how … acquired somatic alterations in the tumor genome interact to exact phenotypic differences in cancer makes reading of this tiny book exciting.” (Z. Bartosova, Neoplasma, March, 2011)
