All cancer diagnoses are terrifying, but a melanoma diagnosis is both frightening and confusing. When Catherine M. Poole learned she had melanoma twenty-five years ago, she found that most of the literature on melanoma focused on prevention. To add to her understandable alarm, she couldn’t find clear, concise information on treatment options. Poole wanted to be an informed patient, but she had no resources.
She survived melanoma and has become a dedicated activist for melanoma research and a staunch patient advocate. Poole is a patient navigator for the patient centered non-profit, Melanoma International Foundation, where she empowers patients to find the best possible treatment. Her new book, Melanoma Not Just Skin Cancer, is a comprehensive guide to melanoma treatments. She tells her own survival story, as well as the stories of others. Since 2012, scientific advances have allowed even those with stage IV melanoma to survive and thrive. Poole wants every patient to find hope, but also clarity. Written for a lay audience, Melanoma Not Just Skin Cancer explains the benefits of two primary but different melanoma treatments targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Poole understands every facet of melanoma treatment new technologies, clinical trials, patient empowerment, and the intricate research connections between academia and the pharmaceutical industry. As a former patient, she knows melanoma patients want options. Options exist. Patients should understand them.

Melanoma Not Just Skin Cancer The Changing Landscape of Melanoma edition by Catherine Poole DuPont Guerry Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
Written by a journalist who herself had melanoma and a medical doctor, this concise book aims at helping those who have contracted melanoma or who fear they might. It is also valuable for those whose spouse or other loved one has this frightening disease.
Poole follows the plan implied in the title, showing how melanoma might be prevented, how it can be detected as early as possible (which is absolutely essential in this disease, because it is the spread, the metastasis, that kills), and how it can be treated. She adds some resources including web sites, helpful organizations, publications, and a glossary. The photos showing what melanoma looks like include shots of moles that may be spots where melanoma may begin. The prints are ugly and scary, but very helpful. There is some technical material, especially about the staging system for melanoma in Appendix A, but for the most part the emphasis is on practical information and guidance presented in a straight forward and readable manner.
I wish the information in this book had been widely available twenty years ago so that my mother who died from the disease might have understood what the spots on her skin were and had them removed before they spread to her brain. For myself, I note that of the five most important factors in gauging who is most likely to get melanoma (p. 21), I have all five.
The good news is, although once it has metastasized melanoma is a very deadly disease, if it is caught in time, the cure rate is very high, in some case approaching 100% (p. 39).
What's beautiful about this book is that the information it contains will surely save lives.
What a thorough and informative book! I have had many small basal cell carcinomas and pre-cancerous lesions (the legacy of growing up fair-skinned in California), so I am extra vigilant with regard to any changes or "funny spots" on my skin. I thought that I was fairly well informed about melanoma, but there were many aspects that I was unaware of, and how glad I am to have read this book. This is an excellent book for anyone, but especially for those with a history like mine or who might have actually been diagnosed with melanoma. The personal stories are reassuring and informative, and all of the most current options for treatment are outlined and discussed. (This is a new edition of a previous book, written to include all of the up-to-date research and protocols.) This is a must-have for anyone with skin issues or with a melanoma diagnosis.
as advertised
Excellent book that explains things in common language.
Good information for someone with melanoma
This book takes the beast that is Melanoma and breaks down its very scary walls. Getting all the latest information on treatment options and just the basics for understanding this disease is invaluable.
Catherine Poole is a careful researcher who has written a useful, easy-to-read book for those of us with melanoma. I have learned so much from her, both on her website and from this book, which will serve as a handy reference for me and my family. Catherine's careful approach to emergent treatment gives us hope, without sugar coating the realities of this deadly disease.
Another great book by Catherine Poole. Informative and helpful. Even though we have the first book, the updated version is even better. You can never know enough when it comes to this deadly disease.
The author is a survivor herself so she understands the fear and uncertainty that goes along with a melanoma diagnosis.
Well written!
