Great primer for the discovery of oncogene structur and function.

I've read the first (1995) edition. This is a wonderful introduction to the molecular basis of oncogene structure and function. At this time (2007) the 1995 edition may be a bit dated but still if you really want to clearly understand how oncogenes were discovered, this is a great book to do it with. Highly recommended.

Well Written and Very Informative book on Oncogenes

This text is fairly comprehensive and gives a very detailed description of the pathogenesis of oncogenes in human disease states. A great book for those in graduate degree programs (PhD, MD, MA).
