From the reviews: "The summary of models of pancreatic cancer is simple and would be valuable for readers who are beginning to work in the field. The review of studies in molecular signaling, genomics, and proteomics is a comprehensive introduction for clinicians who are interested in the biology of this disease. ... provide a very good introduction for the clinician or the young investigator who is interested in the subject. ... Clinician-investigators would be well served to read this as a review ... ." (Murray F. Brennan, The New England Journal of Medicine, April, 2009)
