This book is the first to identify women who are at increased risk
for developing breast cancer as a large and increasingly important
population in need of special health-care attention. By examining
the factors that contribute to their risk and using quantitative
risk models, Management of patients at High Risk offers practical,
authoritative guidance in the management of these patients, both
healthy and ill. The book covers the spectrum of issues clinicians
face in providing expert counsel and effective, human
care-including the many diagnostic and therapeutic options
available. Chapters summarize the most recent thinking on generics,
epidemiology, and the role of mammography, pharmacologic and
surgical prevention and treatment. The authors review both the
benefits and disadvantages of various management options and
discusses important considerations such as costs, psychological
management, and the associated legal and ethical issues. A
practical model for organizing a risk assessment clinic is also
presented.
