Add to basketThe Second-Leading Killer in the USA Shouldn’t Be This Deadly
Written by Bruce Ratner and Adam Bonislawski, ….
Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late stage treatments. ‘Early Detection’ examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.
In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer.
In this book, you’ll discover:
Early detection remains our most powerful tool in the fight against cancer, offering hope and better futures for countless individuals.
