"This is a good compilation of scientific information on lung cancer...it serves as a useful resource for scientists involved in lung cancer." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"The strongest part of the book is the detailed description of the different molecular techniques for marker analyses, which will be of great value for the lung cancer scientists working in basic science ant translational lung cancer research." -Annals of Oncology
