Drawing on some 2,000 primary sources, Steen, a cancer researcher at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, reveals the cutting edge of what researchers currently know about how cancer starts, develops, and responds to various treatments. He also examines in some depth 14 of the most common cancers. Steen believes in an aggressive approach to cancer and encourages patients to take an active role in combating their disease. Specifically directed to cancer patients but deserving of the widest possible audience. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
