Reviews

Roth includes the technical (biological markers and gene mapping) and the simple-to-express (how to prevent cancer and what to do when cancer strikes). He recommends the reader stop smoking, moderate drinking, and improve diet to prevent cancer. In the discussion of specific cancers, specialists are listed with name, institutions, city, and zip code. Appendixes include food lists, information sources, hazardous chemicals, and Children's Cancer Study Group Member Institutions. The book is laid out with wide margins for headings, graphs, and last-minute updates to the text. The two drawbacks are a weak index and an unclear audience level. For extensive consumer health collections. Jean E. Crampon, Southern Illinois Univ. Sch of Medicine Lib., Springfield
