From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is a second edition of a well-accepted text on angiogenesis and antiangiogenic agents, particularly on their use in cancer therapy. In addition to the editors, a large number of outstanding investigators have contributed to this book. a ] This edition is highly recommended to all of those involved in research or the clinical practice of oncology."
