This colourful, comprehensive yet compact handbook covers the key areas of breast cancer management, from risk factors and diagnosis to management of all cancer stages. But what really makes this book stand out from the crowd is the authors' awareness of just what information you need when you talk to a woman concerned about breast cancer. The chapter dedicated to risk will refresh your knowledge and help you talk to your patients about their individual risk. And the short chapter on clinical trials will help you discuss potential participation in trials and answer common questions. Wherever you are in your career, and whatever involvement you have with caring for women with breast cancer, this book will have something for you.
