Reduce Your Cancer Risk: Twelve Steps to a Healthier Life (Paperback)

Medical and health journalist and editor Boughton teams up with cancer researchers Stefanek to synthesize the current understanding of cancer risk into guidelines for general readers on reducing their own risk. The 12 chapters are not so much steps--in the sense of each following the last--as an array of recommendations, the more of which people can adopt the better. Among them are discovering your family history of cancer, protecting against skin cancer, leaving tobacco behind, which screening tests are best, pollution and everyday chemicals, medications and surgeries, staying healthy after cancer, and staying positive one day at a time.(Check Catalog)
