Summary: a classic book
Comment: it is a very good book not only for biologically majored post-graduate students, but also useful to area related with biology or who wants to get profound knowledge on cancer. Highly recommend to people who are working on cancer-related area.

Summary: Improving Brazilian research
Comment: In 2006 Holiday season, I receive this book as a Christma's gift. It truly was a hallmark on my cancer research. Until nowadays we search as references the experiments and experiences united on this remarkable book. My passion and hunger on dig in all contents was like a contagious fever in my lab. All researchers acquired one issue and the one's that hasn't yet, are willing to do so. By that, Dr. Weinberg and his work became a reference in the Northeast labs in Brazil, and my personal hero. For me, a PhD student struggling to improve my skills and knowledge, it was a perfect gift from Saint Claus! My regards to all scientists that pursuit these challenging area, on Molecular Biology of cancer. Aline Martins, Fortaleza, Northeast Brazil.

Summary: Biology of Cancer
Comment: In the last 2 decades research on signaling pathways in normal and cancer cells exploded. An enormous number of publications are available and it is impossible for the non -expert to keep track. This book has long been overdue, since it lifts the educated non-expert to the state of the art. It does it by wonderfully describing the chain of knowledge generation from the discovery of important genes to the actual functional, molecular signaling pathways. This book describes results from Drosophila genetics, yeast genetics, mouse and human genetics, virology and immunology which are combined to explain how cancer can develop and how it can be effectively cured. The discovery of all the major players in cancer, oncogenes, proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and genes for apoptosis as well as the function of their gene products are described. After one reads this book, one is able to effectively and productively participate in research on cancer.
This book is nothing for novices in molecular biology. Profound knowledge in basic molecular biology as well as in the interpretation of 3-D structures of proteins is required. However, for the educated non-expert in cancer biology, this book is priceless.

Summary: A fitting textbook from a probable future Nobel laureate
Comment: First you must consider whom the author is- Dr. Weinberg is a member of the national academy of science and one of the most famous researchers in cancer biology, as he discovered what is still the most important oncogene in Ras, as well as probably the second most important tumor suppressor in Rb.
Of course, he's done a lot more than just that (too many contributions to list), and he's still at the Whitehead Institute.
As a student working in a cancer research lab, I found the book to be highly instructive.
Sure, I can just read review articles especially Annual Reviews for a lot of the things in the textbook, but there is no better single source for all things related to cancer in one package.
The figures are very nice as well, and they are simplified for easy viewing (FACS plot will not have jagged lines, for example).
However, the book is not missing in terms of primary data either as it has plenty of data from primary sources to demonstrate many of the points.
For example, there is a 50 page chapter on p53 alone.
You're not likely to find a 50 page review article on p53 anywhere else.
And the text is filled with recent references too, as evidenced by a 2006 ChIP paper's figure, referenced in the p53 chapter.
