About the Book

Cancer touches the life of almost everyone. Most of us have a relative, friend or workmate who has had cancer. Do you sometimes worry that you, or someone close to you, might develop a cancer, and are you unsure how cancer can be prevented, or at least be discovered early enough for cure? Reducing the Odds will allay your fears. It clearly shows the steps to take for an enjoyable and healthy lifestyle that will, at the same time, dramatically reduce the chances of developing cancer. Professor Kune describes the appropriate steps for early detection of a cancer or even a precancerous condition. Precise preventative advice is given concerning the main cancer risks - diet, smoking, inheritance, alcohol, sun exposure, physical inactivity, sexual practices, and cancer-producing agents at work, in the home and in the environment. Cancers of the colon, rectum, breast, lung, prostate, skin (including melanoma), cervix, uterus, and ovary together with eighteen less common cancer sites are discussed individually allowing you to make a personal cancer risk assessment, and then follow the clear recommendations for their prevention and early detection. Reducing the Odds presents a unique, individualised and comprehensive cancer prevention plan, together with a systematic programme for early detection and cure in the event that a cancer or precancerous condition does develop. You will come back to this easy-to-use reference manual again and again. 'Professor Kune's book is a valuable addition to those now available on healthy living, not only for the clarity of its style and its avoidance of technical terms, but also because it is concerned with the quality of life as well as its quantity.' Sir Richard Doll, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Oxford University 'This book by Gabriel Kune MD is a readable, highly practical and current guide to cancer prevention.' Dr Peter Greenwald, Director, Division of Cancer Prevention, National Cancer Institute USA
