Fulfilling the Potential of Cancer Prevention and Early Detection - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Produced under the auspices of the National Cancer Policy Board at the National Research Council's Institute of Medicine, this text reviews the evidence that cancer incidence rates can be dramatically reduced and outlines a national strategy for its prevention and early detection. The authors begin by assessing the effectiveness of various interventions to alter smoking, eating, and exercise habits. They also look at professional education issues and present policy recommendations. A case study on lung cancer screening illustrates the problem of adopting new technology when the science is still uncertain. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
