"Overall, it would be useful to basic scientists interested in understanding the role of stroma, in particular the role of hypoxia, in cancer progression." (Doody's, 16 September 2011) "Tumor Microenvironment is informative and current. This field of study is already evolving beyond the microenvironment into the host systemic environment and the role of endocrine factors in tumor progression. If a second edition of the book is published, it will most certainly encompass these newly emerging concepts." (Elsevier, 2011)
