About this Item

520 "A comprehensive guide to total breast health from the go-to breast care expert for Good Morning America and The Doctors. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer over the course of their lives, and breast cancer is the #1 killer of women ages 20-59. But did you know that only 15 percent of those diagnosed have a single relative with breast cancer? For most of us, family history and genetics do not determine who gets breast cancer--we do! You have power over this disease. In BREASTS: The Owner's Manual, Dr. Kristi Funk shows you how to harness that power. This practical guide equips women with the most up-to-date tools for cancer prevention and outlines a compassionate roadmap for treatment options. Kristi Funk, MD, is a Board-certified breast cancer surgeon based in Los Angeles and co-founder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center, which has transformed the delivery of breast healthcare in America. Long before Dr. Funk performed Angelina Jolie's widely-discussed double prophylactic mastectomy, Dr. Funk strategized with her about the most effective and honest way to communicate her decision to the world. Their announcement led to a permanent increase in preventive testing for the BRCA gene. Now, Dr. Funk takes the broader conversation about total breast health to women everywhere with this straight-talking guide. Her mission is to educate as many women as possible about what they can do to stop breast cancer before it starts. Every year, 1 million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed globally, with more than 240,000 in the US alone. BREASTS: The Owner's Manual will help many women avoid this unwelcome journey and will provide wisdom and practical advice for those already walking this challenging path"--.

About this title

Synopsis

. Una guía minuciosamente documentada y detallada sobre la salud de los pechos. . Una obra indispensable y valiosa para mujeres que quieran optimizar su salud. . La doctora Kristi Funk hace la ciencia accesible con un tono cercano que tranquiliza y empodera al lector. El riesgo de sufrir cáncer de mama no depende, como a menudo pensamos, del historial familiar. De hecho, afirma Kristi Funk, cirujana oncológica de fama mundial, el 87 por ciento de las mujeres diagnosticadas carecen de familiares en primer grado que hayan padecido la enfermedad. El mayor factor de riesgo es, sencillamente, el hecho de ser mujer. La buena noticia es que el peligro de enfermar y de recaer se puede reducir siguiendo ciertas pautas. En esta guía práctica y exhaustiva, la doctora Kristi Funk ofrece toda una batería de estrategias para prevenir el cáncer de mama y optimizar los resultados una vez que se ha manifestado: desde aspectos alimentarios hasta fármacos preventivos y detallada información para tomar las decisiones más adecuadas ante la enfermedad. "Pechos: aprende a conocerlos" es la guía definitiva para la salud de los pechos, creada para empoderar a las mujeres contra una epidemia que podemos y debemos controlar.
