What causes cancer? Who is at risk? Can cancers be prevented or cured? Cancer is a worrying and mysterious disease to most people, but many types of cancer are curable or preventable. In 'Cancer Explained', Professor Fred Stephens, an experienced and distinguished oncologist, explains cancer in clear, understandable language, dispelling myths and misconceptions. He discusses the various treatments for cancer and gives up-to-date information about how to minimise the risks. At the end of the book there is a useful glossary giving clear explanations of the medical terms frequently used in the treatment of cancer. The author aims not only to give the lay reader a better understanding of the problems of cancer, but also to help all who care for people with cancer. It is only by promoting better understanding of the clinical realities and the therapeutic possibilities of cancer, that the social and emotional needs of patients and those who love and care for them will be met.
