More people die annually of lung cancer in the United States than of breast, prostate and colon cancer combined, notes Noel Griese, author of "New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer." Griese's book, written for the 90 million past and present smokers in the U.S., presents sobering facts, including the statistic that smoking shortens the lives of American females by 14.5 years and males by 13.2 years. While lung cancer is the most deadly form of cancer, it is also the most preventable, Griese says. He details lifestyle changes that greatly reduce risk. Prominent among these is to quit smoking. The book offers detailed information about how to do that. The author also details exercise and nutrient regimens that reduce cancer risk. Griese, editor of "Current CancerNews" newsletter, is a past state director of the American Lung Association and American Cancer Society, and has been a state chairman of the Great American Smokeout. His book attracted favorable prepublicity and reviews in a wide variety of media including the Los Angeles Times, CBS MarketWatch, the Dallas Morning News, Women's Cancer Network and Seattle Times. The author is now involved in a national radio and television promotion campaign for the book.

This review is from: New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer (Paperback)

Authoritatively written by Noel L. Griese (a former director of the Georgia chapters of the American Cancer Society and American Lung Association), New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer is a straightforward and soundly presented informational guide to improving one's health and taking reasonable preventative measures to stop from contracting or succumbing to the deadly disease of cancer. From the necessity of quitting the use of tobacco products immediately; to positive diet and nutrition changes in one's life specifically to reduce cancer risk; to matters of stress and exercise; avoiding environmental carcinogens; and more, New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer is strongly recommended reading -- especially for anyone with a family history of this terrible disease.
