This book is a non-technical introduction and basic reference to which cancer patients and their friends and relatives can turn. Dr. Friedberg found that people diagnosed with cancer are faced with a lack of accessible information on various aspects of the disease; what it is, its incidence, how it happens, how it is diagnosed and treated, their chances of survival and what the medical and scientific community are doing about it. These are the questions he addresses in his new book which is intended primarily for people who wish to learn the basic facts about cancer without complicated biological concepts and bewildering medical terminology. Sources of further information, are also given.
