The historic acceptance of pain as an essential part of the recovery process has been reevaluated in recent years. It is now becoming clear that pain should be treated in the same way as injury and disease, and that indeed recovery sometimes depends on the aggressive pain management.

No matter what the form of cancer, early detection is crucial to the success of the treatment.
Some cancers are clearly easier for individuals to detect, through touch or vision.
Others, such as colon cancer, are much less so. Fortunately, the same treatment benefits of early detection are available to potential colon cancer sufferers if they are aware of the early signs and statistical chances of having the disease. Dr. David Lieberman's research has focused on screening for this important part of the treatment of colon cancer, and his information is vital for anyone with a family history of colon cancer or other genetic or individual risk factors.
