<P>(Review from JAMA)</P>
<P>Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon neoplasm usually associated with exposure to asbestos. Because of its low incidence, thorough reviews of the topic are hard to find.</P>
<P></P>
<P>Harvey Pass and colleagues have edited an up-to-date, comprehensive book that includes a wide range of information, from a historical perspective to descriptions of the latest treatment. The authors . . . have written chapters on the carcinogenesis, molecular genetics, and clinical aspects of mesothelioma. Malignant Mesothelioma is suitable for a broad audience. Laboratory researchers will use it as a resource for information about the pathogenesis, animal models, molecular genetics, and cell lines of mesothelioma. . . . Clinicians will benefit from this complete guide to the presentation, prognosis, imaging, and treatment of the disease. I highly recommend this book to all who are interested in mesothelioma.</P>
