ONS Book Excerpts

Cancer Prevention, Detection, and Control: A Nursing Perspective
Directions
Chapter 11: Breast Cancer Prevention and Detection: Past Progress and Future
While several chapters in this book could provide helpful tips for oncology nurses, one chapter is devoted to describing the historical and future perspectives of breast cancer prevention and detection.

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.

Women's Health: A Guide for Nurses
This resource is an edited book with several authors writing their topics based on current information, research findings, and therapeutic interventions. When medications are mentioned, drug names are used as examples and are not meant to be all-inclusive or specific recommendations.
