Oncology without panic. How to prevent, detect and treat cancer

"We brush our teeth twice a day, we use dental floss and mouthwash, we know a lot about dental diseases. Cancer diseases should be treated in the same way: take preventive measures, get checked regularly and, if necessary, be treated."

In her book, researcher and scientist Ilona Svezhentseva talks about the nature of cancer in a simple and balanced way. The author explains how to track the first signs of the disease, what treatment options are available, how heredity and bad habits affect cancer, and whether it is worth resorting to radical methods, as Angelina Jolie once did.
