Now medical, academic, and public librarians – and oncology patients, caregivers, and reseachers – can easily identify the most up-to-date, authoritative information about cancer available today.

Author Ruti Malis Volk explores the information needs specific to 25 adult cancers and 10 childhood cancers along with a detailed list of essential resources including:

  • Consumer health titles
  • Web sites
  • Patient organizations
  • Books
  • Audiovisual resources

Volk also provides essential background information and identifies key issues such as:

  • Drug therapy
  • Complementary therapies
  • Fertitlity
  • Nutrition
  • Talking with children about cancer
  • Quality-of-life topics such as body image and pain control
  • Much more.

Here is an invaluable tool for helping librarians meet the vital information needs of their users concerning one of today ’s most critical topics.

The MLA Guide to Cancer Information “is the standard against which all others will be judged.”
-From the foreword by Max S. Wicha, director of the Comprehensive Care Center at the University of Michigan.
