From the reviews:

“Chapters in this volume are designed to be guides to techniques addressing various aspects of experimental cancer biology. … this volume will earn a place on the lab benches of investigators and clinicians who are studying inflammation-related oncogenesis. … this book can provide a source of information for establishing new techniques as well as suggestions for investigating particular aspects of tumorigenesis.” (Marion C. Cohen, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2009)
