Easy to understand!

I bought this book for Biology of Cancer class. This book is fabulous! It is well organized and truly address ALL aspects of cancer from the definition of cancer to the sociological issues concerning cancer. It is informative and takes the reader from complete ignorance on the subject to being well versed and able to carry on and ask intelligent questions when consulting a physician. There were several cancer patients in my class who commented that this was one of the best books they have on the subject. I highly recommend this book!
