Summary
While covering the principles and techniques of mass spectrometry, this book also discusses relevant concepts of cancer medicine and biology. It details the identification, metabolism and dosimetry of carcinogens as well as the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of antineoplastic agents.
Additional text
"This is a unique and very useful tool for biologists interested in mass spectrometry. Written with biologists in mind, it provides a good background for novices in the field and illustrates the potential of mass spectrometry in molecular biology and oncology. …it serves to connect these fields for a wide range of scientists. 4 stars!"
- Victor V. Levenson, MD, PhD, Northwestern University Medical School, Doody's Notes
"…an invaluable resource for mass spectrometrists. The text provides a myriad of experimental applications and strategies for the MS analyses of molecules that are central to the development and prevention of cancer. All mass spectrometrists who are interested in doing cancer research should procure a copy."
- M. Paul Chiarellia, Loyola University, in Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, Volume 14, Issue 1
