This is a singular book that allows the everyday reader to find true, direct, easy-to-understand answers to the most basic cancer-related questions. The book provides a clear overview of what cancer actually is, how and why it occurs, and how it is diagnosed, treated and prevented. It describes few most common cancers in more detail. The book simplifies many complicated topics such as clinical trials and immunotherapy. In the non-judgmental tone of a trusted family member or friend, the author gives advice on what to do after a cancer diagnosis (and what you should not do or trust).
