✦ Synopsis
Genetics of Malignant Disease
B. A. J. Ponder (ed). 220x140 rnrn. Pp. 752. Illustrated. 1994. Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone. f49.95 'The Genetics of Malignant Disease' is one of a series of expert reviews pubTished as part of the British Medical Bulletin Series. This particular edition does not disappoint. Under the editorial guidance of Professor Bruce Ponder, an internationally recognized group of experts have contributed to a thoroughly up-to-date and complete text on the genetics of malignant disease. Sir Walter Bodmer provides an easily digestible chapter on the principles of cancer genetics. This is followed by further sections on general principles relating to subjects such as inherited aspects of cancer, viruses and p53. Later the genetics of the more common solid tumours, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and melanoma, are discussed in more detail. Each chapter is easily read and has a bibliography which is both comprehensive and upto-date. Finally, there is a chapter by Professor Ponder on the setting up and running of a familial cancer clinic. This is based on the editor's own experience of establishing and running such a clinic over a 9-year period. It demonstrates a wealth of experience in running a genetic counselling service. This book is highly recommended; it is difficult to find fault with it.
