C Norman Coleman, MD
The greatest need for anyone facing cancer is understanding the disease—its diagnosis, treatment options, and the challenges that come with it. In Understanding Cancer, Dr. C. Norman Coleman guides patients and their families on how to gather and interpret treatment information to make informed decisions. He offers practical advice for preparing doctor visits to make them as helpful as possible.
Dr. Coleman breaks down complex medical terms and concepts, explaining how doctors use statistics and percentages to describe conditions. He covers important topics like disease staging, cancer biology, how success is measured in treatment, and managing one’s time during the process.
The second edition includes new developments in targeted therapies and personalized medicine, such as molecular markers, advanced imaging, and treatments tailored to the individual. Because many of these treatments are available only through clinical trials, Dr. Coleman explains what participation involves.
Compassionate and easy to understand, Understanding Cancer empowers patients and their families to actively participate in care alongside their medical team.
