Chasing Truth in Cancer puts forth approachable and clear guidance on cancer, equipping readers with the knowledge to help themselves. Renowned medical expert Dr. Mikkael A.

Sekeres skillfully weaves the stories of patients alongside extensive scientific evidence to determine the best ways to minimize cancer risk, or to maximize outcomes after a cancer diagnosis. This book is divided into two parts, with the first focused on the fundamentals of cancer and how to reduce the risk of cancer. Here, Sekeres deciphers cancer statistics and outlines the importance of confirming diagnoses, identifies the "almost" cancers that often lead to unnecessary anxiety and even treatment, and explains the facts about cancer screening programs and how they have had an impact on cancer rates.

He also explores science-based ways readers can lower their own cancer risk through diet, exercise, screening programs, and intentional behaviors. Uniquely, this book teaches readers how to interpret medical studies to aid self-advocacy and media literacy. Challenging long-held beliefs about cancer care, the second part of the book examines different types of cancer treatments – including those that might actually worsen cancer – and groundbreaking new therapies, and highlights cases when cancer doesn't need to be treated at all.

Sekeres delves into novel interventions that help manage the side effects of treatments and provides concrete advice on what patients can do to help themselves through empirically proven lifestyle modifications. Finally, with tens of millions of people alive following a cancer diagnosis, Chasing Truth in Cancer provides a thoughtful, holistic look at cancer survivorship.
