This book, written for the layperson, provides evidence-based
material explaining the complex and evolving evidence of the
benefits and limitations of breast cancer screening and the
advances in breast cancer treatment. A diagnosis of breast cancer
is one of the most emotionally charged statements a woman can hear
from her doctor. Understanding the rapid changes in breast cancer
diagnosis and treatment is challenging, especially for those
without a medical background. This book will help explain the
strengths and weaknesses of breast cancer screening, breast cancer
treatment, and ways of coping with the disease (for oneself or a
loved one). Written for the layperson, this text explains the
history of disease prevention with a specific emphasis on breast
cancer detection and treatment. The main chapters weigh the pros
and cons of well-known but often mystifying screening tests, such
as mammograms; discuss the benefits and side effects of targeted
hormone therapies; consider holistic regimens that complement
traditional medicine; and explore the mental, physical, and
emotional strain caused by breast cancer. Concluding with the
current breast cancer screening guidelines recommended by leading
organizations in disease prevention, Breast Cancer Facts, Myths,
and Controversies not only engages with the history of breast
cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, it looks ahead to a
brighter future for survivors. Includes reader-friendly
descriptions of screening tests and treatments, along with their
benefits and risks Addresses the debate surrounding modern
biomarker and genetic tests and whether or not testing is excessive
Includes a list of support groups and organizations, as well as a
summary of screening guidelines Includes a glossary of breast
disease terms and terms used in testing and treatment Written by an
expert epidemiologist known internationally whose career has
focused on women's health
