The editorial board and contributors are physicians, scientists, or other health-care practitioners. They have prepared 835 alphabetical entries covering diseases, conditions, procedures, medications, and social issues related to the various cancers afflicting humans. Entries range in length from one to five pages and provide concise overviews in an accessible format. An entry for a specific cancer includes alternate names for the disease, a definition, risk factors, etiology and disease process, incidence, symptoms, screening and diagnosis, treatment and therapy, prognosis, prevention, and outcomes. Entries for drugs are mostly for drug classes, with a few for specific drugs. There are also entries for cancer in ethnic groups, for carcinogens, and for topics such as Cell phones, Clinical trials, and Occupational exposures and cancer. Social issues such as Caregivers and caregiving, Family history and risk assessment, and Financial issues are covered, too. Medical and surgical procedures and techniques, major treatment centers, organizations, and topics such as alternative therapies and nutrition in both treatment and prevention also appear. All entries have references for further information and cross-references to related material. Volume 4 includes a glossary, a bibliography, and appendixes providing lists of organizations, cancer centers and hospitals, and support groups; a master list of carcinogens; and comprehensive lists of drugs by generic and trade names. There are numerous tables with statistics, survival rates, and other relevant information, as well as black-and-white photographs. A unique feature of this set is the included access to the Salem Health Database with the complete text of the set as well as that of Magills Medical Guide. There is an access code in volume 1 that allows unlimited usage through 2111."
