ANSWERING CANCER: A Comprehensive Cancer Treatment Guide by an Oncologist Though India is heading towards massive economic growth, the health of Indians is slowly deteriorating. Non communicable diseases like heart disease and cancer are on the rise. Number of patients with cancer and deaths caused by cancer are expected to rise in the next decade making India the “Cancer capital of the world”, according to recent reports. Diagnosis of cancer elicits fear of death among patients and families. However, in the recent years, there are various treatment options which have made many early stage cancers curable. Even in terminal stages of cancer, treatment options like immunotherapy and targeted therapy are successful in controlling cancer and increasing the life expectancy of patients and help them lead a productive life. Also, many cancers can be detected in early stages by simple tests on healthy individuals. Some cancers can be prevented by vaccination and lifestyle changes. The information on cancer written by Cancer Specialist Doctors is sparse in literature. This book “Answering Cancer” successfully delivers information on cancer in simple, easy to understand English. It empowers patients with cancer about the treatment options, tips for recovery and rehabilitation after treatment. It also educates the healthy individuals about causes of cancer, lifestyle changes to prevent cancer and tests for early detection to be included in the annual health check.
