The book is "Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy" by: Malin Dollinger, M.D.; Ernest H. Rosenbaum, M.D.; and Greg Cable ... It's a very thick, blue paperback & I've seen it in almost all the bookstores.

It has almost all of the cancers in it & gives info. on each. (description, types, signs & symptoms, diagnostic tests, staging, prognosis, treatments, etc.)... Also in the book is a list of anticancer drugs (includes generic name & most common brand name, types of cancer they're used for, how they're administered, precautions, and side effects.)....The book also has generalized sections on things such as: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, coping with side effects, living with cancer, nutrition, etc., etc.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone who has cancer!!!...We have referred to it so many times, our copy is literally falling apart.

According to the book 'Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy' it says, "Occupational exposure in the flour and agricultural industries has been reported to increase the risk of developing certain types of intermediate and high-grade lymphoma."

I wanted to share a book that I have just discovered and with which I am very impressed. It is titled Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy. An up dated edition is coming out in early '98 (possibly Jan.). It gives understandable explainations to grade, staging, and many other confusing terms.
