About this title

Synopsis

In "What You Really Need to Know about Cancer", Dr. Buckman, a cancer specialist with the University of Toronto, writes a complete guide to cancer, its causes, and its treatment. Aimed at cancer patients, their families and friends, the book explains, in a clear, jargon-free style, what cancer is, how it is caused, and how it behaves. Detailed sections about all of the major types of cancer describe how each may cause symptoms, what factors are important in determining prognosis, and what treatment is available. You will find informative and clear analysis of conventional and complementary medicines, screening and prevention and cancer research. Also, featured is help to open communication (with family, friends and the medical team), and sexuality.
