Synopsis:
Cancer treatment has improved and more is known about what causes cancer and how to prevent it, and, most often, teens with cancer overcome the disease. Nevertheless, it remains the leading cause of death by disease among teens. Cancer Information for Teens, 3rd Edition, presents updated facts about cancer causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It explains how cancer occurs in the body and describes some warning signs; and provides information on coping with treatment side effects, changes in body image, and social and survivorship issues. Issues of concern to teens with friends or family members who have cancer are also addressed. The book is organized in the broad subject areas detailed below. Please see the Table of Contents for a more complete understanding of the comprehensive coverage offered in Cancer Information for Teens, 3rd Edition.
