<p>Cancer is an extremely important health problem across the globe, including in countries where it has historically not been considered a priority. Increased longevity of life, together with high tobacco use and the growing prevalence of obesity, have all contributed to rapidly rising cancer rates in many developing countries with scarce resources for treatment. Prevention, therefore, is essential. <p>This comprehensive book offers researchers and clinicians an up-to-date guide to the latest techniques in the screening and prevention of all major – and some less common – types of cancer. With its multidisciplinary approach, the text offers a far-reaching discussion of the issues facing those working to prevent cancer today, and examines these matters not only from a clinical angle, but from dietary, demographic, and social perspectives also. Some chapters are devoted to the different screening methods relevant to specific cancers, while others outline clear-cut strategies for public education regarding preventative measures and choices. This insightful work: <ul> <li>Includes background information on epidemiology, cancer prevention, and cancer screening</li> <li>Emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork in cancer screening</li> <li>Highlights frequent dilemmas and difficulties encountered during cancer screening</li> <li>Has been assembled by an esteemed editorial board from the UK and USA</li> </ul> <p><i>Cancer Prevention & Screening</i> is essential reading for oncology professionals of all kinds, as well as palliative care specialists, dietitians, physicians, and anyone involved with the fight against cancer.
