Book Description\New Hope\ is targeted at the U.S. group most likely to get lung cancer, the nation's 90 million past and present smokers, and at the 1.2 billion smokers worldwide as well. Smoking causes 80 to 87 percent of lung cancer. Tobacco use on average reduces life expectancy of males in the United States by 13.2 years and of U.S. females by 14.5 years. This book deals with current research into the best ways to quit smoking. For those who have already quit, it deals with lifestyles that reduce the risk of lung cancer. The book also covers some of the latest technology for screening the high-risk population to detect lung cancers early enough before metastasis so they can be successfully treated.Download DescriptionMore people die annuallyof 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.
