Cancer kills thousands of British women every year. Yet the disease is often preventable and in some cases can be cured. This is a guide to the cancers that affect women, primarily breast, cervical, ovarian and other cancers of the reproductive organs. This edition has been updated and includes sections on topical issues such as skin cancer, smoking-related cancers and silicone breast implants. The author, a well-known medical joumalist, presents the facts in a straight-forward practical style, remaining sympathetic to the problems of cancer sufferers. She explains the detection, treatment and management of cancer, how to make informed choices, how to communicate better with your doctor, the holistic approach to treatment and self-help and preventive measures.
