This review discusses the book "Histological Typing of Tumours of the Central Nervous System" by K. J. Zülich, published in 1980. The book is part of the WHO International Histological Classification of Tumours series and aims to provide a simple and practical classification scheme for tumors of the central nervous system. Each tumor type is briefly described and illustrated with color photomicrographs, making it a useful guide for neuropathologists, neurosurgeons, and oncologists. The reviewer, O. G. Dodge, notes that while the book may have some points for criticism, it is generally reliable and well-illustrated. This review covers the book "Tumours of the Pancreas" by A. R. Moossa, published in 1981. The book highlights the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer, with an overall survival rate of about 10% within a year and less than 2% at five years. Due to the deep location of the pancreas, early symptoms are often vague, and by the time jaundice appears, the cancer has spread beyond surgical resection. The book focuses on diagnostic procedures for pancreatic tumors, including radiography, isotope scanning, ultrasonography, CT, endoscopic pancreatography, angiography, function tests, and tumor-marker studies. It also includes reviews of pancreatic anatomy, physiology, surgical procedures, and clinical features of endocrine pancreatic tumors. The reviewer, O. G. Dodge, notes that the book is valuable for surgeons and gastroenterologists but suggests that a separate chapter on experimental carcinomas in golden hamsters might have been more appropriate. This review discusses the book "Immunodeficient Animals for Cancer Research" by S. Sparrow, published in 1980. The book is described as small but readable, though its purpose is unclear whether it is intended as a laboratory manual or a reference work. The introduction by Davies is balanced but could have been extended. The reviewer, O. G. Dodge, notes that the book lies uneasily between these two categories and suggests that the content might be better suited to a different audience.This review discusses the book "Histological Typing of Tumours of the Central Nervous System" by K.
