Scientists are testing an arsenal of drugs that could prove to be the most potent weapons in the fight against cancer: chemopreventive drugs that can actually stop the cancer process from starting.
In this urgent yet immensely hopeful book, two highly respected physicians, one of them a cancer survivor herself, report on the recent dramatic breakthroughs in combating the disease that now ranks as our nation's #1 killer. And they outline an exclusive 7-step plan for reducing one's cancer risk. Whether the goal is to avoid ever getting cancer, to arrest precancerous changes, or to prevent a recurrence, people will turn to this book for news they can use.
