QuickFACTS books offer practical cancer information
One of our priorities here at the American Cancer Society is to support better decision making by providing high-quality, timely, and understandable information to help ease the cancer journey for patients and caregivers. The new QuickFACTS series of paperback books provides another resource to help achieve that goal by providing a comprehensive, quick read about a growing list of cancer subjects.

The newest addition to the series is QuickFACTS Bone Metastasis, which provides sound, up-to-date, evidence-based information for people with bone metastasis and their loved ones. The book provides comprehensive coverage of bone metastasis, as well as critical questions for patients to ask their health care team. It also includes the latest patient treatment guidelines and a bone metastasis glossary to educate and empower patients from the beginning of their diagnosis.

QuickFACTS Bone Metastasis is the fourth book in the series, which currently also includes books on prostate cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. Each book offers readers a step-by-step approach to dealing with a cancer diagnosis, as well as practical advice for coping with the effects of treatment. Each book also includes additional resources relevant to each diagnosis and highlighted cover tabs to allow quick reference to specific topics. The series is expected to grow to include as many as 20 titles to provide cancer patients with a quick and trusted resource for cancer information while focusing on quality of life.

All four of the QuickFACTS books are available online in the ACS Bookstore, where you will also find other ACS publications, such as Informed Decisions and The Great American Eat-Right Cookbook. The books are grouped by category, including Health, Cooking, Specific Cancers, Caregivers, Survivor, Family, and For Children, to help you find resources quickly and easily.
