Abstract
THE deficiency in books on laboratory cancer research is particularly unfortunate since so many new workers are turning their attention to the problems of malignant disease. The present volume is therefore assured of a wide welcome, representing as it does a valuable, indeed indispensable, addition to the cancer literature. The fact that this book follows so soon after K. Stern and R. Willheim's “The Biochemistry of Malignant Tissues”, which was published in New York in 1943, illustrates the great attention now being given to biochemistry in relation to cancer in the United States, where it is widely felt that the more dynamic approach to the problems of normal and malignant growth which biochemistry supplies should be fully developed to supplement and reinforce the well-tried methods of classical histology.
