Breast Cancer Risk Reduction and Early Detection

Suitable for primary care physicians, nurses and the lay community, this work offers an approach to breast cancer prevention and early detection. It addresses science, future directions and questions that individuals might have to regarding their options to minimize their breast cancer risk, and to find disease that is present as soon as possible.

The purpose of "Breast Cancer Risk Reduction and Early Detection" is to provide a single source for primary care physicians, nurses and the lay community to obtain the current approach to breast cancer prevention and early detection. The chapters will be written by experts in the field and will address current science, future directions, and questions that individuals might have to regarding their options to minimize their breast cancer risk, and to find disease that is present as soon as possible.
