Description

Halachic Considerations in
Cancer Prevention
and Management
Includes practical information and guidance
Few words in the dictionary are more
frightening than "cancer." For Torah-
observant Jews, there is an added
element of complexity when it comes
to cancer, whether regarding preventive
measures or, R"l, an actual diagnosis.
• At what age should we screen for
certain cancers, and to what extent
are we halachically obligated to do
so?
• In which situations does the medical community recommend
prophylactic surgery, and does halachah require a person to undergo
such surgeries?
• Is it permissible and/or required to participate in clinical trials when
standard treatment options fail to control a person's cancer?
• What degree of autonomy does halachah grant a patient with metastatic
cancer who is at the end of his or her life?
Dr. Moshe Ornstein is a veteran, frum oncologist who has also spent years
learning and teaching halachah. In this book, he provides in-depth halachic
analyses and discussions of common cancer-related topics, all written in a
clear, easy-to-read manner. In addition to the halachic overviews the book
offers, it is also a source of relevant and practical medical information about
cancer prevention and treatment in general.

I received your book Cancer in Halachah, and I find it useful for both scholarly and
practical purposes, as well as informative in preventing the disease...

Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky
I am certain that this book will be very beneficial for patients struggling with this
disease as well as for their families, and that it will increase the awareness amongst
Klal Yisrael of how to prevent this disease from taking hold amongst us...

Rav Asher Weiss
Each chapter contains an excellent, up-to-date halachic discussion... I strongly
recommend this book for all cancer patients, their families, and policymakers in this
field of medicine.
