Description
Bowel cancer is the second commonest type of cancer in the UK. It is also one of the most treatable when caught at an early enough stage. There have been significant advances in all apsects of bowel cancer detection and treatment since the 1980s yet the UK still lacks a national bowel cancer screening programme. This book summarizes the most up to date information on bowel cancer treatment and is primarily aimed at someone newly diagnosed with the condition, or their carer or relative. It should place the reader in command of the essential information they need to be fully engaged in treatment decisions, and to be confident they are receiving the best treatment. The "Help Yourself to Health" series aims to provide authoritative coverage of a range of common medical problems. It is supportive and positive, accessible to the lay person, and aims to provide up-to-the-minute evidence based information and advice to inform patients and help them to be responsible for their own health.
