Cancer Information for Teens: Health Tips About Cancer Prevention, Risks, Diagnosis and Treatments, 3 edition

English | ISBN: 0780813197 | 2013 | 410 Pages | PDF | 2 MB

Cancer is never an easy discussion topic, but this comprehensive manual in the Teen Health series guides teens through nearly every aspect of the disease, giving them the knowledge to overcome fears and dispel many myths along the way. Divided into six sections, the book begins with an overview of cancer, how it affects young people, the role of genes and the environment, and risk factors such as smoking and obesity. The second section looks at cancers of most concern to teens, including melanoma, leukemia, and breast cancer. Other sections address what to expect during a cancer diagnosis and treatment (both traditional and "complementary health" therapies); concerns following treatment (e.g., fatigue and fertility); and coping strategies when a loved one has cancer. A final section offers an extensive list of books as well as information on finding support groups and clinical cancer trials. Occasional black-and-white diagrams and medical photos aid the matter-of-fact yet highly accessible text. Fact boxes add further interest and depth to this excellent first step for personal or academic research. Grades 8-12. --Angela Leeper
