This is the fourth book in a series dealing with breast cancer. Volumes 1-3 were concerned with treatment, experimental biology, and a number of varied timely topics. The present volume continues to review the breast cancer field in the broadest sense. The first chapter addresses the question of selecting appropriate chemotherapy for the patient. In the 1970s, great advances were seen in our ability to achieve objective tumor regression with empirical combina tions of chemotherapeutic agents. The next decade will focus on precise methods to select those agents likely to have the greatest benefit in individual patients. Livingston has provided us with a thorough review of the current state of the art. We have known for some time that steroid hormone receptor assays of considerable value to clinicians caring for patients with advanced disease. Osborne and colleagues now present considerable arguments that receptor assays are also useful in the setting of primary breast cancer for purposes of both prognosis and treatment strategy. A very important clinical problem which has received little attention in the research laboratory is benign breast disease. If one inquires about the medical therapy of this disorder in the United States, it is obvious that the majority of physicians would appreciate a better understanding of the pathophysiology which might lead to improved therapies. Mauvais-Jarvis and co-workers provide us with such an account from their wide experience.

"Excellent . . . Highly recommended for anyone involved in the fight against breast cancer—patients, doctors, family members, and researchers included.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Whether you are facing a cancer diagnosis and the challenges of treatment; wish to prevent the disease if you’re at high risk; or are caring for someone going through the experience, this book brings you the most accurate, reliable and up-to-date information available. You’ll discover a story rich in hope, with accounts of women who’ve successfully confronted this difficult disease. The knowledge you’ll gain will help you be a more informed patient or caregiver—in communicating with doctors and selecting among treatment options. In this thorough book, the Mayo Clinic brings you critical knowledge in many key facets of breast cancer. Prevention: What can you do to decrease your risk? While there’s still no guaranteed way to prevent breast cancer, several lifestyle factors can be modified to reduce your risk, especially if you are in a high-risk category. Treatment: After diagnosis comes a flurry of questions: Now what? How do I deal with this? Do I have options? What’s my prognosis? The good news is that breast cancer is now considered a highly treatable disease with good results and increasing survival rates. The book reviews the full range of treatment options, and the pros and cons of each. Care and Coping: Life goes on after diagnosis. Doctors share their best options for dealing with emotions, coping with treatment side effects, and considering complementary therapies. A separate chapter offers helpful guidance to the patient’s partner. Living With Hope: It bears repeating: Breast cancer is highly treatable. You have every reason to live with hope. This book offers key support for every woman. “Medically sound . . . An empowering tool that soothes the sting and shock of a cancer diagnosis with up-to-date information and physician-supported advice.” —Kirkus Reviews
