Various treatment choices, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, bone marrow transplantation, and biological therapies ? are discussed, and facts are provided about cancer clinical trials and other ongoing research. And also it talks about life after cancer treatment and healthy food choices. The book concludes with a glossary of related terms, a directory of national cancer organizations, and suggestions for finding community-based resources. - Provided by publisher.
