The "Bible" (New York Times) and the "seminal work" (LA Times)
offering the most authoritative guidance through all stages of
breast cancer diagnosis and recovery, fully revised and updated.
While the amount of information regarding a breast cancer diagnosis
is vaster than ever, online and off, what continues to be missing
is the explanation behind the options. Most of the data online on
medical sites is generic and often comes from the same source. Then
there are the patient sites as well as many social media outlets
that provide peer to peer support and information. This is
important for emotional support but still leaves out the full range
of options and the reasons for them. The Breast Book is where
people go for a deeper understanding of how to make the best
possible choices for their particular situations. Now in its
seventh edition, the Breast Book has been fully revised to
incorporate all the most recent developments in prevention,
treatments and research. This new edition covers: - New treatments:
including new drugs, vaccines, hormonal treatment and drugs with
longer duration (10 years) for the estrogen positive tumors - The
increasing focus on where cells live, both locally (immune system,
hormones, etc.) and systemically (stress, etc.) - Prevention:
several new drugs have been added to the list of chemoprevention
drugs. In addition, preventative surgery has received increased
attention. - Increased data on "alternative" approaches such as
stress reduction and exercise in reducing recurrence. - Increased
understanding of the immune system and how it either controls or
promotes the cancer. - Risks for survivors - Genetics - Special
groups: Men with breast cancer are demanding a louder voice in the
conversation and research.
