Cancer is a word filled with foreboding, but this marvelous book by two distinguished oncologists explains its mysteries in lucid, straightforward language that allays fears and puts the disease clearly into perspective.

This comprehensive guide details the latest treatments available-;including alternative therapies-;in addition to explaining what cancer means and how it might be prevented. A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was, and this guide provides an essential overview of all current information on this fast-moving field. It is an invaluable source of advice for patients, their families, and health professionals, and can provide comfort and reassurance to people who suffer from the disease.
