More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in the United States, claiming 157,000 lives annually, more than breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer combined. "Yet less money is spent for the care of lung cancer patients than for the care of patients with other cancers which claim far fewer lives," the author says. Among the topics Dr. Scott covers in this book: Tests for early detection, Staging the cancer, and why it is so important, Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy - how they kill cancer cells, Alternative treatments - can they help? The importance of clinical trials, and Coping with emotions such as "smoker's guilt.""

Excellent, Informative, and Thought Provoking, 29 April 2004
By ailean blackstone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lung Cancer: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment (Paperback)
Dr.Scott's book is comprehensive and offers not only fact-based research and methods of diagnosis, but it also covers the highly emotive issues surrounding the possible causes of lung cancer, including the subject of 'smokers guilt'.This book is a must have for EVERY home, whether it is simply an addition to your home library or you have been diagnosed with the disease, or know someone who has it.
I am embarrassed and humbled by the fact that I am the first person on Amazon to review this remarkable book. Do yourself a favour, get interested in health-care and go and buy it.

Helpful information, 28 Feb 2008
By Jacqueline T. Parham - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lung Cancer: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment (Paperback)
My mother has this and I found this book to have plenty of easy information to understand in the areas of;
signs/symptoms, what can cause or be aggravating factors in this disease, what types of treatments
are available and the side effects are and how helpful and harmful the side effects can be, also this book
mentions how vital good communication between the patient and his or her doctors must be.

Comprehensive And Covers Smokers Guilt, 6 April 2005
By G. Reid - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lung Cancer: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment (Paperback)
About 82% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. This book helps the patient and family deal with the emotional issues of knowing that in most cases this deadly disease is caused by the deliberate act of smoking. It also helps one deal with the years and years of lies put forth by cigarette manufacturers denying the deadly nature of smoking. About 15% of all smokers will die of this disease.
