From the reviews: "This is a useful compendium of various molecular methods (with a special focus on microarray technology) applied to research and diagnostic and prognostic purposes for most solid human tumors ... . The book is designed primarily for residents and fellows, oncologists, pathologists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, and others who study oncologic diseases. ... chapters are detailed and informative and present molecular genetic aspects in an appropriate clinical setting. ... The references following each chapter are extensive, relevant, and updated." (Semir Vranic, Doody's Review Service, July, 2012)
