A review of the "Cancer Healing Life Encyclopedia"
About the writers

Into the book
"Cancer Healing Life Encyclopedia" is a book that organizes information accumulated by Korea's top cancer experts in various fields, including cancer symptom management, post-treatment lifestyle management, and answers to questions about each type of cancer, in an easy-to-understand manner, in line with the latest cancer treatments.
As the name "encyclopedia" suggests, it is organized by topic to make it easy to find the information you need.
It covers the physical, mental, and social aspects that cancer patients experience, and also aims to shed light on the lives of not only patients but also their families who suffer physically and mentally due to cancer.
---- From the "Preface" on pp.5~6
When you are diagnosed with cancer, the shock and stress are enormous.
When a family member is diagnosed with cancer, both the patient and the family experience changes, both big and small.
But even in these situations, it's important to remember that the best outcomes are achieved when the patient, family, and medical staff work together as a team.
The care and support of your family is of the utmost importance during your battle with cancer.
---- p.18 From “Part 1: Management during Diagnosis”
Cancer patients may experience a variety of symptoms during the not-so-short course of treatment following a cancer diagnosis.
Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms that may appear in advance so that you can care for the patient comfortably without panicking.
Noticing and responding appropriately to small changes in a patient's body can be of great help not only to the patient but also to the caregiver's daily life.
---- p.113 From “Symptom Management During Part 2 Treatment”
You may continue to feel pain even after treatment is finished.
In times like these, enduring the pain isn't the only solution.
It needs to be actively controlled.
Because pain must be well controlled to enable you to sleep well and live happily, prevent depression, and maintain good relationships with your spouse, family, and friends.
When pain is not managed, you may feel tired, angry, anxious, lonely, depressed, and stressed.
You need to understand pain properly and not misunderstand it to respond wisely.
---- p.173 From “Symptom Management During Part 2 Treatment”
Cancer affects not only physical health but also social, economic, and emotional well-being.
In fact, it has been reported that the stress experienced by cancer patients and their caregivers has various effects on the onset, progression, and prognosis of cancer.
To improve the health and quality of life of both cancer patients and their caregivers, we must prevent and actively manage stress.
I have to do it.
--- p.353 From “Part 3 Daily Life Management”
Maintaining good nutrition is very important for treatment and recovery.
It not only increases the effectiveness of treatment, overcomes side effects of treatment, reduces the risk of infection, and helps normal cells damaged by cancer treatment recover more quickly.
Eat a balanced diet that includes all nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

Publisher's Review
“About the many things you can experience during cancer treatment
“I don’t think there’s a book that’s organized this well yet.” _Ra Seon-yeong, President of the Korean Cancer Association
Updated with accumulated data and the latest cancer treatment information from 2012 to 2024!
Samsung Medical Center's "Cancer Healing Roadmap," a journey that has supported cancer patients in Korea.
Accurate information is very important for cancer patients.
Oncologists also emphasize that proper treatment is essential to overcoming cancer, and that unfounded and incorrect information can worsen the disease or cause side effects.
This is why we must be wary of unverifiable or incorrect information on the Internet and listen to credible information from experts.
In that respect, the “Cancer Healing Life Encyclopedia” (latest revised edition) is a comprehensive guidebook that has increased its reliability as trustworthy medical staff from various departments, including obstetrics and gynecology, dentistry, infectious disease, and nursing, participated in writing it.
Above all, it provides new and reliable information to patients who are disappointed by the lack of up-to-date books in the 'Encyclopedia' covering the entire spectrum of cancer treatment.
In this revised edition, the existing and newly appointed medical staff worked together to add the latest cancer treatment information and thoroughly reorganize the book by checking for differences from the past.
A total of 50 specialists, based on data obtained through long-term treatment of patients, provide the most necessary and useful information for overcoming cancer, from chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the recently developed CAR T-cell therapy.
In addition, it covers 'physical management' such as skin changes, lymphedema, and pain that occur during treatment, 'mental management' to manage the mind, and 'daily life management' such as travel and exercise, and contains information that is practically helpful in cancer treatment.
This book covers a wide range of topics, including social welfare systems that cancer patients should know about, the care needed by terminally ill cancer patients, and regular checkups that patients should receive after recovery. It will be a reliable companion that you can always take out and read on your cancer recovery journey.
We will answer any questions you may have that you couldn't ask in the clinic.
Includes 248 key Q&As on cancer types and treatments!
Due to time constraints in the clinic, it is often not possible to answer all questions about the disease.
The “Cancer Healing Life Encyclopedia” (latest revised edition) actively reflects the suffering of these patients, dividing cancer into 15 types, including liver cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, urinary cancer, skin cancer, and blood cancer, which have high incidence rates among Koreans, and clearly answers management methods for each type, things to keep in mind when diagnosing, and things to be careful of in daily life.
In addition, cancer treatment methods, including targeted anticancer drugs, proton therapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, are categorized into eight categories, and questions that may arise during each treatment process are answered in a friendly manner.
In particular, this revised edition adds 67 questions that medical staff have frequently received from patients, including, "Isn't radiation therapy hot or painful?", "Can I get vaccinated during chemotherapy?", and "Will I lose my voice if I have laryngeal cancer surgery?", providing a variety of cancer information that anyone would be curious about.
It goes into detail about sexual life, minor eating habits, and stress issues that patients find difficult to ask medical staff about in person, and suggests solutions to the areas that patients are actually concerned about.
By following the 248 questions compiled and summarized by experts, you will be able to properly understand the disease itself called cancer and wisely deal with the numerous situations encountered during the healing process.
Beyond curing cancer, to improve the quality of life during treatment
A lighthouse guide for patients and their caregivers to read together
The difficult process of fighting cancer does not end with the patient's simple suffering.
Not only the patient but also the family experiences worry and anxiety during that time.
The "Cancer Healing Life Encyclopedia" (latest revised edition) contains information on how to properly care for the patient's body, how to naturally express emotional support, and how to communicate effectively with medical staff, for caregivers who are at a loss as to what to do immediately.
It also provides comprehensive guidance for caregivers throughout the entire process of treatment, covering everything from terminal illness care to the assistance needed for patients nearing death.
The book also states that long-term caregiving can place a great physical and mental burden on caregivers, and points out that caregivers, just like patients, must take good care of their own bodies and minds.
This guide provides caregivers with tips on managing their stress and balancing work and caregiving, ultimately leading to an improved quality of life for everyone involved in the treatment.
The goal is not simply to cure cancer, but to provide a direction in which everyone can be happy and less stressed during the diagnosis and recovery process.
From now on, let's follow the clear guidelines of the "Cancer Healing Life Encyclopedia" (latest revised edition) and become a team with patients, guardians, and medical staff to demonstrate excellent teamwork.
The healing process that you thought would be difficult may turn out to be smoother than you thought.
