Summary:

"'The handbook of cancer control and behavioral science: A resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers' is an authoritative synthesis of what is known, what is suspected, and what is still unknown about the core behavioral and sociocultural aspects of cancer control. Editors Suzanne M. Miller, Deborah J. Bowen, Robert T. Croyle, and Julia H. Rowland provide an overview of the key areas of behavioral research in cancer, including cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Future directions for research also receive extensive coverage. Distinguished researchers provide jargon-free descriptions of cutting-edge behavioral intervention approaches, as well as the research findings and theoretical models that support their effectiveness. In addition to the focus on cancer patients, the effects of cancer on families are also reviewed. In its broad scope and detailed examination of the entire continuum of cancer care, the handbook is a cross-disciplinary resource that will be useful to researchers, health care providers, and mental health professionals in the fight against cancer"--Jacket.
