The new edition of Cancer Sourcebook for Women provides updated information on the types of cancer that occur in women. It includes general information and statistics and descriptions of specific types of cancer. Tips for screening and prevention are given along with the latest research findings. The book includes a section on treatments and coping strategies, plus an extensive list of organizational resources for help and information. While Cancer Sourcebook for Women includes a chapter on breast cancer, the subject is treated in greater depth in a separate volume, Breast Cancer Sourcebook.

Cancer Sourcebook for Women

People with pain problems often feel isolated and sometimes hopeless, but many who suffer can be helped. Treatment options for pain relief have become more varied over the past several decades, as researchers have discovered more about how the brain functions and how pain-relievers work. Additionally, alternative therapies--including acupuncture, biofeedback, and hypnosis--have joined the pain relief arsenal. 
The new edition of Pain Sourcebook provides basic consumer health information on the nature and mechanism of pain and gives attention to common complaints associated with pain. It offers practical help for living with pain, and it reports on research initiatives into the causes and treatment of pain. A glossary of pain-related terms, a directory of resources, and other aids to guide pain patients seeking relief are also included.
