2009 Conquering Cancer - The Empowered Patient's Complete Reference To Leukemia - Diagnosis, Treatment Options, Prognosis (Two CD-ROM Set)

This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on leukemia: signs and symptoms, diagnosis, lab tests, treatment and management options, and ongoing clinical research. Every aspect of the disease is thoroughly covered. Leukemia is cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. Major leukemia coverage include Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and vaccine therapy. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor references and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. Documents from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Medline, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) are included. In addition to disease-specific information, there is extensive coverage of the broad subject of cancer and its prevention and treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, advanced treatments, managing side effects). There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.
