About this title

Synopsis

Breast cancer in women is the subject of in-depth media attention. Newspapers, journal and magazine articles, and newscasts regularly present the latest breakthroughs--often without distinguishing between solid research and dubious speculation. This title in Omnigraphics' Health Reference Series sorts through the confusion to provide reliable, current information on breast cancer and its associated disorders in both women and men.

With stress on early detection through mammography and self-examination, research has shown that breast cancer can be eliminated or controlled through a variety of treatment options, each of which is presented in depth in this volume. Other subjects, including facts about heredity and other risk factors, preventive measures, coping issues, a glossary of terms, and a rich list of sources for further information, are also presented.

Reviews

Compiled by two veteran editors of the publisher's well-known series, this thoroughgoing, very readable reference covers all aspects of breast health and cancer. It moves from health assessment, through screening, treatment, clinical trials and research, to coping. Though it could be read cover to cover, the 65 chapters and 20-page index make it easy to access specific areas of interest. Clarifying illustrations, numerous subheads, and occasional question-and-answer sections help in breaking this comprehensive guide into manageable parts. The book includes a glossary and chapters for additional resources and support. Readers will find much to consider here. Recommended for all public and patient health collections.
