This new encyclopedia is a perfect entry point, with its clear, but medically informative, articles on 120 different cancers, drugs, and diagnostic tests. Treatments (traditional and alternative), causes and prevention, clinical trials, and demographic information are also provided. Users will especially appreciate the pertinent colored illustrations, the highlighted "Questions to Ask the Doctor," and lists of additional resources." -- "Outstanding Reference Sources," American Libraries, May 2002.
