A Kirkus Best Book of 2016 Oncologist and cancer gene hunter Theo
Ross delivers the first authoritative, go-to for people facing a
genetic predisposition for cancer There are 13 million people with
cancer in the United States, and it's estimated that about 1.3
million of these cases are hereditary. Yet despite advanced
training in cancer genetics and years of practicing medicine, Dr.
Theo Ross was never certain whether the history of cancers in her
family was simple bad luck or a sign that they were carriers of a
cancer-causing genetic mutation. Then she was diagnosed with
melanoma, and for someone with a dark complexion, melanoma made no
sense. It turned out there was a genetic factor at work. Using her
own family's story, the latest science of cancer genetics, and her
experience as a practicing physician, Ross shows readers how to
spot the patterns of inherited cancer, how to get tested for
cancer-causing genes, and what to do if you have one. With a
foreword by Siddartha Mukherjee, prize winning author of The
Emperor of All Maladies, this will be the first authoritative,
go-to for people facing inherited cancer, this book empowers
readers to face their genetic heritage without fear and to make
decisions that will keep them and their families healthy.
