Description
The 6th edition of the Intelligent Patient Guide to Breast Cancer has been fully revised and updated. It reflects the significant advances in breast cancer diagnosis and management that have occurred in the past few years, including advances in screening and assessing risk, diagnostic tools, surgery and reconstructive surgery, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, rehabilitation, complementary and alternative treatments, and research discoveries including inherited breast cancer and genetic testing. It also offers important practical advice for patients, including strategies for navigating the health care system, helpful hints for case managers, nutrition and lifestyle issues, how to cope, and a personal account of the evolution of awareness and advocacy for breast cancer that has occurred over the last 25 years. This all-new edition includes instructions for breast self-examination, a glossary of medical terms and an up-to-date list of additional reading resources.
