Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book is divided into 3 sections. … this book is informative and provides a comprehensive review of the advances and limitations of cancer gene therapy. … Overall, the book provides enjoyable and instructive reading material. I highly recommend this book to scientists as well as clinicians as a reference source for cancer gene therapy. Readers would benefit from this excellent reading material, whether they are relatively new to this subspecialty or are actively working within the field of cancer gene therapy." (Prem Seth, JAMA, Vol. 299 (11), 2008)
"Gene Therapy for Cancer … covers the current technologies of cancer gene therapy as well as the difficult task of applying these in clinical trials. … The book also benefits through its helpful tables, drawings and illustrations. … Gene Therapy for Cancer provides a good overview of currently available techniques for cancer gene therapy and their limitations and potential for clinical applications. The book is a useful addition to the library of both researchers and clinicians working in the field." (S. Schepelmann and C. J. Springer, British Journal of Cancer, Vol. 98 (3), 2008)
“This new volume in Humana’s series is written for oncologists, hematologists, cancer researchers, geneticists.” (Tumori, Vol. 93, 2007)
