Outsmarting Cancer: Risk Reduction and the Power of Prevention

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Community Health Resource Center at Griffin Hospital is highlighting Outsmarting Cancer: Risk Reduction and the Power of Prevention for its October Book of the Month.

Outsmarting Cancer reframes one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time – how to prevent cancer. Physician and medical researcher Adam Barsouk, MD, presents a sweeping examination of cancer’s true origins, biological, environmental, dietary, infectious, industrial, occupational, and behavioral, and makes a compelling case for why cancer prevention must become a central priority in public and personal health. With personal stories from his clinical practice and the latest research, Dr. Barsouk explains why more people are getting diagnosed with cancer, and at younger ages, than ever before. This book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations.
