Anyone whose life has been touched by kidney cancer needs to read this book. It is a thorough explanation of the disease, answers all the questions many doctors are too busy to explain completely, and you can read and re-read at your own pace. It covers the latest treatment options in this rapidly changing branch of oncology. The glossary and index and the illustrations are especially helpful. Interspersed throughout are real-life comments of patients and caretakers who have walked this path.

I found this book to be very informative (maybe a little upsetting for those who face Stage 4 - like my husband). It's straightforward, easy to understand, and divided into Stages very well. It covered everything we'd forgotten to ask the doctor when we were there!

This book will probably be helpful to anyone dealing with renal cancer. More recent is the Kidney Cancer Association's free publication, We Have Kidney Cancer, that may be read as an e-publication online. Given that there are several copies of 101 Questions available used for less than $2, I would recommend this as a reasonable ordering choice. I have worked with all the authors and their knowledge is solid. Their book may be a bit dated, as therapeutic advances are being made rapidly in this disease.

This book is written and organized well for kidney cancer patients to read and understand as a reference tool during their cancer experience. It is not over-simplified, nor does it assume prior knowledge. Skip researching the www for the latest medical information on kidney cancer -- it's all in this book! I received this book about 3 weeks after being diagnosed with kidney cancer and wish I would have had it even sooner. I was the second person in my family to be diagnosed with kidney cancer and, although, I thought I knew what I needed to know from our family's first experience, this book provided me much more information based upon current research and practices. Kidney cancer can be a "death sentence," but it is also a very curable cancer when found early and many people don't know that good news. Thank you to the doctors who wrote this book. It was comforting to have such a good resource at my fingertips during my experience with kidney cancer. I'm blessed to have a happy ending to my kidney cancer experience and in a very real way, this book spared me unnecessary fear and stress during my diagnosis and treatment.

This is an excellent book on Kidney Cancer and provides complete information and treatment options available. It is explained in an easy to read format and is a book that I continue to use as a reference book.

I found out I had kidney cancer and this book answered everything I could possible think of and more.

Instead of receiving 100 Questions about Kidney Cancer, we received 100 Questions about Liver Cancer. The order was lost in our system for 3 weeks (not the fault of the sellers), However, we were going to order 100 Questions about Liver Cancer anyway and I have ordered more Kidney Cancer books from Amazon. It was just disapointing to find we had received the Liver Cancer books instead of Kidney Cancer books.
