"During many years of working with people with cancer and their families, Dr. Norman Coleman has found that one of their greatest needs is to understand what they hear, what they read, and what they experience. In Understanding Cancer, Dr. Coleman explains how to gather and interpret information about different treatments and how to use that information to make decisions. He helps the person with cancer prepare for visits to doctors and the hospital, to make those visits as productive as possible. He defines key medical terms and explains the concepts underlying the statistics and percentages used to characterize medical conditions. And he describes the steps involved in diagnosis, staging, and treatment so patients can understand what they are likely to be doing at different times and in different settings."--JHU Press
