From Library Journal Written by two oncologists for the layperson, this authoritative but readable reference stands out in the literature as a uniquely comprehensive, thorough source of up-to-date information about cancer generally and individual common cancers. Similar in scope, but with a much fuller, more complete treatment than the American Cancer Society's Cancer Book ( LJ 7/86), this affordable guide offers an understanding of current diagnosis and treatment, therapy and management, supportive care, and developments in assessment. In an easy-to-use format in four parts, the authors answer myriad questions about every aspect from early detection and stages to risk factors and genetics with a chapter highlighting the role of the National Cancer Institute in sponsoring clinical trials. Useful appendixes include a glossary of medical terms, a list of anticancer drugs and their side effects, and a directory of cancer centers, associations, and support groups. Recommended for all libraries.- Marilyn Rosenthal, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, N.Y.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
