The Cancer Manual - Dr Ian Banks

With the exception of cancer of the breast, thyroid and melanoma, all cancers are commoner in men than in women. Being a man could seriously damage your health unless we recognise the risks.

The good news is that although about one man in three will develop a cancer at some time in his life, the most common forms are almost entirely preventable through attention to lifestyle or treatable through early diagnosis. This manual, published in cooperation with the Men's Health Forum, gives expert advice on all aspects of prevention and treatment in the unique Haynes style. For each copy sold, 50p will be donated to the Men's Health Forum.

'I was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago and read widely about the condition so I could be as fully informed as possible. Eventually I found the Haynes Manual on Cancer. The clarity of the contents combined with the humour was not only informative but uplifting, and a big help during radiotherapy. I recommend it to anyone who was diagnosed as I was - it will help them understand that the big C can be beaten!' Letter to Auto Express magazine (2/06/10)
