Cancer causes massive numbers of deaths each year, worldwide. For example, it is estimated that this year alone about 2,001,140 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 611,720 people will die from the disease. But cancer doesn't spare any of the world's populations - it just has different causes! This book explains why and how cancer is so diverse and so unforgiving. Most of the known 'agents' and 'mechanisms' that cause it are explained here by Dr Judy Ford, a scientist who was one of the pioneers in human chromosome analysis. Despite the complexity of the topic, the many different ways chromosomes and genes change to cause cancer, are explained for non-geneticists. Anyone who works with cancer or is interested in the topic will find this book easy to read and helpful. It is highly recommended for teachers, nurses, medical practitioners and students and anyone who works in the areas related to cancer. This book is the first in a small series of books about cancer, its causes and prevention. Later books will discuss carcinogens and the various preventive actions we can take to reduce our personal cancer risks. .
