Fundamentals of Oncology. Second Edition

book is well written. Some of the English constructions make reading less smooth when non-American writers use non-idiomatic English, and this requires more effort for comprehension. The book provides a source of data about teratological testing not easily available in any compendium. Because these questions are becoming more prominent in the evaluation of dysmorphic children, the book will be valuable to physicians making such evaluations. For those concerned about the broader implications of environmental toxins, the book provides a valuable collection of data and literature citations. The researcher interested in animal models for teratological study will find it helpful. Busy physicians caring for patients in the reproductive period will find it too complex and detailed to use as a ready reference, but a more leisurely reading of it will surely lead to great concern about exposure of fathers as well as mothers to possible noxious environmental substances.
