The Cancer Roadmap: Evidence-based guidance to help you make the right treatment choices

By Dr Liz O’Riordan

Every two minutes someone is diagnosed with cancer. Every four minutes someone dies from cancer. Whether we like it or not, cancer will soon be a part of everyone’s life – whether they are affected personally or know someone who is.

While medical treatment can cure or prolong the lives of many, we still don’t have all the answers. People are desperate for more information and spend hours searching for a magic bullet – that one thing that will save their life or stop them getting cancer in the first place.

More often than not, however, they are bombarded with conflicting information everywhere they turn, with inflammatory headlines and dubious social media claims making it difficult to work out who and what to trust.

In There Is No Magic Bullet, cancer surgeon, consultant and patient Dr Liz O’Riordan tackles the big cancer myths and truths, breaking down the science and giving readers evidence-based, undisputed facts to help them make informed decisions that are right for them.
