This review is from: 100 Q&A About Pancreatic Cancer (100 Questions & Answers) (Paperback)

With a '100 Question' format, the book is quite thorough with respect to a variety of considerations - treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation, etc.), diet, physical activity, side effects, and caregiver info. However, there have been significant medical developments in '07, '08 & '09 regarding treating PC. An updated edition of this book capturing more recent medical technologies would be a substantial improvement.
