"A variety of topics are covered, including carcinogenesis, tumor progression, therapeutic options, and benign breast disease. The section divisions of the book make it easy to locate topics of interest. Each chapter has an extensive list of references for further study. Parts IV and V are very thorough in reviewing targets for therapy and endocrine therapy. These chapters provide a good basis from which to understand the development of endocrine therapies. The discussion of normal breast physiology and development is beneficial for the less specialized physician and helps to round out the discussion. "-Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal
"...an invaluable resource for both basic scientists and clinicians who need to update their knowledge about breast cancer biology..."-Cell Biology International 2000
"The authors have succeeded in exploring the most important cell physiology and molecular biology issues pertaining to m endocrinology of breast cancer. For example, there are detailed chapters exploring the relationship between both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and breast cancer induction and progression. In addition this volume contains detailed, yet concise, chapters pertaining to the prediction of breast cancer, chemoprevention, and the most novel hormonal treatment strategies. The editor and the authors have clearly worked together to create a focused, yet thorough chapters with minimal overlap, and maximum synergy among chapters" -Quarterly Review of Biology
"...will serve as a comprehensive reference for students, physicians in training, practitioners and investigators....I found the book most helpful as an encyclopedia description of the subject matter. ...I give DR. Manni high marks for having pulled it all together. The goal was to furnish a new state-of-the-art, reference text to fill an important gap." -Elsevier Science
"If you are very interested in the endocrinology of breast development and disease, there probably is no other book available that deals with this area as completely and as currently as this one. Thus, it is a significant contribution to the breast literature."-Modern Pathology
