Product Description
Liver Cancer:

This book is for people who have liver cancer, as well as for their family members, friends, students, and others who want to find out more about this disease.

This booklet is only about cancer that begins in the liver. It isn't about cancer that spreads to the liver from somewhere else.

It's common for cancer to spread (metastasize) to the liver from the colon, lungs, breasts, or other parts of the body. When this happens, the disease is not liver cancer. Instead, the cancer in the liver is named for the organ or the tissue in which it began. For example, colon cancer that spreads to the liver is metastatic colon cancer. It is not liver cancer.

In the United States, metastatic cancer in the liver is far more common than primary liver cancer.

People with metastatic cancer in the liver have different treatment options than those with primary liver cancer. Treatment depends mainly on where the cancer started.

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive CD-ROM provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on stomach cancer: signs and symptoms, diagnosis, lab tests, treatment and management options, and ongoing clinical research. Every aspect of the disease is thoroughly covered. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.

For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor references and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. Documents from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are included. In addition to disease-specific information, there is extensive coverage of the broad subject of cancer and its prevention and treatment along with current cancer research projects.

A unique feature is the inclusion of the results of a database search using the Combined Health Information Database (CHID).

Since navigating the Internet to find additional non-governmental medical information can be confusing and difficult, we've also provided our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites" with links to 80 of the best sites for general health and medical information! By using weblinks built into the documents reproduced on the CD-ROM, you can quickly and easily check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government.

In all, the disc has over 44,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD.

Our CD-ROMs are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are. (Information on this CD-ROM is not a substitute for professional medical advice; of course, readers are urged to consult with a professional health care provider for any suspected illness.) This book-on-a-disc makes a great reference work and educational tool for patients and their families, physicians, and other medical professionals. ... Read more

WASTE OF MONEY!
This CD is merely a PDF of thousands of web pages.

Additionally, it is not even well organized.For instance, on of the files is over 2000 pages long, without a table of contents.

Whoever publishes this should be ashamed for taking money from cancer patients and their families. ... Read more

He must therefore go over the whole of the medical evidence and be prepared to supplement it by surgical methods, should such be desirable to elucidate the case.A general and a special inquiry are necessary in every case; the former involving the question of ago, sex, occupation, habits, and the mental, moral, and physical conditions, together with the history of the patient and the disease ; the latter including all that can be ascertained by a physical examination. While the general inquiry must never be neglected, this chapter will be devoted to special diagnostic methods available in gastric disease.Abdominal regions.—I have found the method of artificially dividing the abdomen into four regions by two lines passing from the ninth costal cartilage to the opposite anterior superior spine to simplify for clinical purposes the surgical anatomy of the abdomen. We can thus speak of superior, inferior, right, and left abdominal regions as shown in the appended diagram.Inspection should always precede other diagnostic efforts. The retracted, superior, abdominal region significant of starvation from cesophageal stricture;the rigid, immobile abdominal wall of incipient peritonitis ; the distension of the abdomen and the shallow breathing of general peritonitis; the sighing respirations in internal hemorrhage ; the irregular, catching breathing in diaphragmatic peritonitis or pleurisy due to subphrenic inflammation; the fixed and bulging ribs... ...
