Site Specific Series: Breast Cancer
A vast amount of information is available about breast cancer. A PubMed search of the words “breast cancer” produces the titles of more than 92,000 published articles, and a Google search produces links to nearly 40 million Internet sites. Few health-care providers have the time or resources to obtain, review, and continually evaluate the latest scientific data on breast cancer, yet they regularly care for patients with this disease.
Experts in breast cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and related areas closely examined the literature and other information sources to provide the up-to-date comprehensive information found in this book. This information can be used by healthcare providers to guide evidence-based practice and patient-focused care.
