Clinical and Biological Basis of Lung Cancer Prevention (Respiratory Pharmacology & Pharmacotheraphy)
by Y. Martinet  for professionals only ...

Lung Cancer: Principles and Practice by Harvey I. MD Pass -for professionals only ... This comprehensive interdisciplinary text discusses the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Combined modality treatments for small cell and non-small cell lung cancer are extensively described. Thorough coverage is also provided of the management of metastases and the complications of treatment. A section on biologic therapy is also included that describes the newer immunotherapeutic approaches to either palliation or cure.  - NEJOM says "The primary cause of lung cancer in up to 90 percent of patients is smoking, and it is estimated that bronchiogenic carcinoma will develop in 10 to 15 percent of all smokers. Environmental factors -- for example, passive smoke, occupational exposure to asbestos or chromium, and air pollution -- as well as genetic predisposition in a multistep carcinogenic process may both play a part. Nevertheless, cessation of cigarette smoking is the most effective, most easily achievable, and least expensive intervention in reducing the risk of lung cancer" the reviewer concludes that it addressed every clinical question that came up at weekly multidisciplinary tumor-board meetings where he found "appropriate references, reviews, and management recommendations.  and ... a vast amount of  information"

Lung Cancer: Making Sense of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Options Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in the U.S., with over 170,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

Treatments for lung cancer can significantly impact quality of life, and the prognosis for some types and stages of lung cancer, using standard treatments, can be daunting.

Co-Existing With Cancer or You Thought Living with your In-Laws Was Difficult  by Jack D. Ruda  - a reader says "I happen to know something about mesothelioma, the incurable form of lung cancer that is the subject of Ruda's book. I have a very good friend who worked for Johns-Mansville which was the leading producer of asbestos, which causes the disease. Ruda offers a unique way of living with his cancer: he leaves it alone, and has persuaded it to leave him alone! Sounds crazy, but obviously, it has worked for him, and I see no reason why it can't work for anybody. The book fascinated me for its unique point of view, its reader-friendly style, and most of all, the inspiring way it helps, advises, and encourages." -- about the book: When Jack D. Ruda wa diagnosed with a rare form of cancer his prognosis was bleak. With no effective treatment available, his physician gave him only two years to live at best with a zero chance of going beyond that time. Faced with the terrible reality of a terminal illness, Jack began a positive program that would enhance the life that was left to him. His first plan of action was to remove all source of stress from his life. Jack is now entering his 8th year. This book tells of his personal experiences, his sense of humor and strategy for survival. He is an inspiration to all who suffer a terminal illness and the loved ones who help them through it.

    consider  The Complete Marilyn Monroe DVD ( a reviewer writes "This dvd is full half visual dvd, half music dvd. It contains all of Marilyn's audio recordings with background screen telling more about the song and it's history. No videos to go with it, sorry. This dvd also contains many full movietone news reels and mostly seen before interviews from the 50's and 60's. But, the best reason to buy this dvd is it contains every sinlge movie trailer from all of her films. Some, I had never even seen before. This makes it well worth the price. "

    Andrew,  Amazon's reviewer says:  "Accompanied by a menagerie of products, Ken Burns's expansive 10-episode paean, Jazz, completes his trilogy on American culture, following The Civil War and Baseball. Spanning more than 19 hours, Jazz is, of course, about a lot more than what many have called America's classical music -especially in episodes 1 through 7. It's here that Burns unearths precious visual images of jazz musicians and hangs historical narratives around the music with convincing authority. Time can stand still as images float past to the sound of grainy vintage jazz, and the drama of a phonograph needle being placed on Louis Armstrong's celestial "West End Blues" is nearly sublime.

    ....   it will amaze and entertain and kindle a flame for some of the greatest music ever dreamed."
