What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Colorectal Cancer: New Tests, New Treatments, New Hope

Colorectal cancer-cancer of the colon and/or rectum-is the second leading cancer killer in the United States: over 50,000 men and women die from colorectal cancer each year. This is a particularly alarming statistic since it is also one of the most preventable and most treatable forms of cancer. In fact, it is estimated that over 1/3 of colorectal cancer deaths could easily have been avoided. But most people, including many doctors, are too embarrassed to discuss the subject openly.
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Colorectal Cancer is one of the first books for the trade to address this all-too common disease. It contains invaluable information on:

PREVENTION: What changes—in diet and lifestyle—you can make today to prevent colorectal cancer.

SCREENING: Why everyone should be screened beginning at age 50—and why you might need to be checked even earlier.

DETECTION: The pros and cons of various tests for colorectal cancer including: colonoscopies, virtual colonoscopies and FOB tests.

TREATMENT: How to effectively treat cancerous and pre-cancerous polyps. And much more.
