Facts on File
Designed to combat misinformation and help readers keep informed about the biology of cancer, Prevention of Cancer presents the latest research on key factors believed to defend against the occurrence of cancer. Chapters focus on the major cancer risk factors, such as smoking, sun exposure, lifestyle and nutrition, genetics, and environmental contributors. This book also outlines steps readers can take to lower their risk for cancer, and special attention is given to what cancer survivors can do to decrease their chances of a relapse.
