The Second-Leading Killer in the USA Shouldn’t Be This Deadly

Written by Bruce Ratner and Adam Bonislawski, ….

Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late stage treatments. ‘Early Detection’ examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.

In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer.

In this book, you’ll discover:

  • Importance of Early Detection: Understand the critical role early detection plays in combating cancer and why it’s more effective than late-stage treatments.
  • Expert Insights and Research: Gain knowledge from expertly researched information on various screening programs and the scientific principles behind them.
  • Compelling Case Studies: See the personal and emotional side of cancer through stories that bring urgency and passion to the importance of early detection.
  • Necessary Social Change: Understand the need for government and medical establishment support in expanding screening resources, particularly to economically disadvantaged and traditionally underserved communities.

Early detection remains our most powerful tool in the fight against cancer, offering hope and better futures for countless individuals.
