The war on cancer

Karen Bailey
Macmillan Cancer genetics nurse counsellor, Institute of Medical Genetics, University Hospitals of Wales, Cardiff

AS SOMEONE who works as a cancer genetics counsellor, but entered the profession from a nursing background, I found this book interesting although difficult to read. The author traces the history and science of cancer, current developments, before looking to the future and the exciting advances predicted in the wake of the human genome project.

Cancer Nursing Practice. 11, 9, 9-9. doi: 10.7748/cnp.11.9.9.s4
