Product Description
The reassuring tone and clear explanations in this medical handbook provide valuable information to patients and family members struggling to understand a diagnosis of melanoma. Each year, more than 50,000 people in the U.S. learn that they have melanoma, and many of them are either young or elderly. This guide fills the information gap that develops between the initial diagnosis in the doctor's office and the treatment that follows. In easily understood layman's terms, a practicing oncologist explains the causes and symptoms of the disease, and provides extensive information on management and treatment of this most lethal form of skin cancer. |
