DESCRIPTION:
It offers a snapshot of the field circa 2001, and its insights are still pertinent today. Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy is a classic reference work for patients and medical professionals interested in use of nontoxic botanical compounds in the treatment of cancer. Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy was among the first books to discuss the use of natural products against cancer from a systems biology perspective. Cancer patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, scientists, and herbalists, or those with an interest in cancer or alternative medicine, will find Natural Compounds in Cancer Therapy a highly informative and useful resource.
a fine reference book for research and clinical scientists"Journal of Experimental Therapeutics and Oncology. Not simply a regurgitation of the literature, but a thoughtful and well-balanced interpretation and analysis of the data." Pharmaceutical Biology"This book must be the ultimate reference of current knowledge on the use of natural compounds in chemotherapy. The scope is incredible. packed with scientific informationextremely well referencedthis book opens the mind to some new ways of thinking about treating cancers."International Journal of Pharmaceutical Medicine"Very important.This is a must-have for anyone interested in botanical medicine."Bloomsbury Review"The author has invested substantial amount of time on converting otherwise difficult to dissect information into a pleasingly easy to read format for readers of all levels.

"One of the Best Books I Own (.on any subject)" according to .. This is simply an outstanding book. I loved it and think that it can help lots of people whose oncologists just don't get it. The subject matter is fairly technical for the layman, as it is written by a first-rate researcher in the field. I think that this book was written for people who are comforatable reading slightly technical material (e.g., the Scientific American crowd). The author's explanations are very detailed. It is one of the best basic references that I have on general cancer biology. In a few places, the author seems to assume that the reader has taken at least introductory or even organic chemist. For Physicians Oncologists and other physicians working with cancer and cancer patients should consider owning a copy of this book. It is an authoritative, insightful and thoroughly researched reference book. Patients are exposed to these compounds and to misleading information about them. Dr. Boik's summaries of vitamins, herbs and other compounds are educative. Sections of this book would help physicians give patients accurate, scientific and perhaps creative information to complement their cancer treatment responsibly.. For Anyone!! patients and family members C. Johnson I forgot to mention that John Boik's guide is the only source of quality information for Patients with cancer. His background on vitamins and herbals is clearly written and adds sophistication to the hunt for complements to chemotherapy and radiation.
