Dispelling the commonly held belief that lung cancer is always self-inflicted, this book guides patients, their loved ones, and caregivers through diagnosis, acceptance, and treatment, and provides support and hope to the tens of thousands of people coping with this illness.
· Provides a crucial reference that helps patients, caregivers, and loved ones educate themselves and obtain the best possible treatments
· Discusses customized chemotherapy; treatment options for early-stage lung cancer, including minimally invasive surgery techniques pioneered by author Dr. Eric Presser; and today's most promising treatments, including multimodality therapy
· Examines the latest diagnostic tools for the early detection of lung cancer, emphasizes the importance of cancer staging, and evaluates the range of alternative treatments
· Guides readers concerning emotional matters such as telling family members and dealing with guilt, and with the practical needs of late-stage lung cancer patients

Eric Presser, MD, is an attending thoracic surgeon at First Choice Physician's Practice and an associate professor at the University of California, Riverside, School of Medicine.
"I want to thank Dr. Presser for writing such a comprehensive, informative book. An Empowering Guide to Lung Cancer is an encyclopedia of the disease, a multitude of education, diagnoses and treatments outlined in an easy-to-read form. He covers and recommends both medical and complementary therapies and shares what has worked for him and his patients. . . . I would encourage anyone facing―not only lung cancer, but any life-threatening disease―to read An Empowering Guide to Lung Cancer." - Desert Health
