nurtured. In Gift from the Garden, Richard and Connie Jones
celebrate their garden life. Through photographs and stories they
convey to the reader their passion for gardening and the love and
respect they have for the urban paradise they have created. These
are their everlasting moments.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women
and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in American
women. Although cardiovascular-related deaths significantly
outnumber breast cancer deaths, breast cancer is arguably the most
feared diagnosis among American women. Great strides have been made
to heighten public awareness of breast cancer, with particular
emphasis on early detection with mammography. Breast radiologists
regularly witness the extreme anxiety that just the thought of
being diagnosed with breast cancer can cause a patient. This
anxious anticipation is often heightened by a lack of knowledge
about what to expect from the process of breast imaging evaluation,
which is frustrating for both patient and practitioner and can
negatively affect the experience. Physicians often encounter
patients who have little or no understanding of the reasoning
behind the examination or procedure about to be performed-sometimes
even up to the day of their breast cancer surgery. Furthermore,
most women who undergo breast evaluations will not be diagnosed
with cancer. The incidence of breast cancer is only 125.3 per
100,000 women (or 3-6 in every 1,000 screenings), however, symptoms
of benign breast abnormalities are quite common and impact many
more lives. Accurately diagnosing these non-cancerous conditions
can alleviate much anxiety, in addition to helping patients towards
a correct treatment plan. The Breast Test Book is a straightforward
guide to the process of radiologic breast evaluations. Based on the
most current scientific research and best standards of clinical
practice, it will help debunk myths, shed light on misinformation,
and provide clear facts about what women should expect from these
screenings. This improved understanding will ultimately allow
patients to play more active roles in their own care and, in the
event that a diagnosis is made, give them confidence in their
treatment.
