Muscle & Fitness/Hers, Sept, 2004

If you have a family history of cancer--and even if you don't--a new book can help you learn how to lower your risk. Written by cancer experts Carolyn D. Runowicz, MD, and Sheldon H. Cherry, MD, and health journalist Dianne Partie Lange. The Answer to Cancer (Rodale, 2004) takes all the disease prevention information that's thrown at us day after day and boils it down to the essentials.

The book also addresses specific forms of cancer, acknowledging that the preventive tactics for one disease may be different from another. The Answer to Cancer is also a worthwhile read if you currently have or have had cancer--it provides a game plan for arresting the disease in its earliest stages and preventing a recurrence.
