"This book is an essential resource that provides knowledge about malignant transformation, metastatic spread, and therapeutic outcomes based on integrated genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic data through easy and comprehensive chapters written by various international experts in the field. The purpose of the book, according to the authors, is to provide very exciting information about the complexities of metastasis to young researchers and distinguished scientists in the field of oncology. These are indeed worthy objectives and the book is very much needed. The book does meet the needs of the intended audience as it covers updated information on the mechanisms of metastasis.... [Covers] very important details about complexities of metastasis and has several illustrations that enable easy comprehension of a complex subject. This is an excellent book on 'Unraveling the Complexities of Metastasis' and discusses interesting information…. [A] unique [book] in providing updated information and nanotechnology-based docetaxel therapeutics." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Omer Iqbal, MD, FACC, FESC (Loyola University Medical Center)
