From an expert in the field comes the definitive guide to managing breast cancer in the information age—a comprehensive resource for diagnosis, treatment, and peace of mind. The breast cancer cure rate is at an all-time high, and so is the information, to say nothing of the misinformation, available to patients and their families. Online searches can lead to unreliable sources, leaving even the most resilient patient feeling uneasy and uncertain about her diagnosis, treatment options, doctors, side effects, and recovery. Adding to a patient’s anxiety is input from well-meaning friends and family, with stories, worries, and opinions to share, sometimes without knowing the details of her particular case, when in reality breast cancer treatment has gone well beyond a “one size fits all” approach. Elisa Port, MD, FACS, chief of breast surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital and co-director of the Dubin Breast Center in Manhattan, offers an optimistic antidote to the ocean of Web data on screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Inside you’ll discover • the various scenarios when mammograms indicate the need for a biopsy • the questions to ask about surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and breast reconstruction • the important things to look for when deciding where to get care • the key to deciphering complicated pathology reports and avoiding confusion • the facts on genetic testing and the breast cancer genes: BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 • the best resources and advice for those supporting someone with breast cancer From innovations in breast cancer screening and evaluating results to post-treatment medications and living as a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Elisa Port describes every possible test and every type of doctor visit, providing a comprehensive, empathetic guide that every newly diagnosed woman (and her family) will want to have at her side. Praise for The New Generation Breast Cancer Book “One book you need . . . If you’re considering your options for treatment or know someone who is, this step-by-step guide, The New Generation Breast Cancer Book, is essential reading.”—InStyle “Elisa Port, M.D., is the doctor every patient deserves: brilliant and compassionate. Her book will be a sanity saver and, quite possibly, a life saver.”—Geralyn Lucas, author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy “As up-to-date as one can get, with lots to offer people facing a cancer diagnosis or hoping to support someone with the disease.”—Library Journal (starred review) “The New Generation Breast Cancer Book helps you sort through all the information you’ve gathered, clarify the terminology, consider the options, and make the right decisions for your unique case.”—Edie Falco “A lifeline for many women in need of today’s most up-to-date choices for treatment . . . Everyone should read this book for themselves, their mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and friends.”—Kara DioGuardi, Grammy-nominated songwriter, music executive, and Arthouse Entertainment co-founder “The book is teeming with easy-to-understand medical explanations, tips, takeaways, and pro-and-con discussions of various courses of action. Port also includes two extremely useful appendices that respectively take on common myths and answer questions frequently asked by friends and family. This is a vital read that will empower men and women alike.”—Publishers Weekly

Improvements in early detection and treatment of breast cancer and the reduction in mortality rates have led to an expansion in the numbers of patients accessing breast cancer follow-up clinics (Montgomery and Dixon 2008). This has resulted in a need to review follow-up services to address the current situation to the best effect (Burnet, Chapman, Wishart and Purushotham 2004). To meet the aims of the Cancer Plan (Department of Health (DOH) 2000) and more recently the Cancer Reform Strategy (DOH 2007) as well as the needs of the patients, a reconfiguration and development of existing services at the study site was required. The primacy of the stakeholders' views was the driving force behind the research design. The research approach was used to involve the views of the patients, GPs, the clinical team and key people based in the NHS Trust. A focus group was used to identify the issues for patients and one-to-one interviews with GPs. These themes informed the patient and GP questionnaires. Key Informant interviews were conducted with members of the Multidisciplinary team (MDT) and key members of the clinical team. The study outlines the nature of breast cancer follow-up services and the complexities associated with a diagnosis of cancer. This is from both the psychological and physical perspective and the impact it has on patients. Key themes emerge from the data about the breast cancer service as it is delivered at present and the expectations and perceived value of breast cancer follow-up. The involvement of the patients as key stakeholders ensured that their voices were heard alongside those of both hospital and primary care staff. Themes from the questionnaires, focus group and key informant interviews concurred with each other. The need for reassurance that the cancer had been treated and participants were well was very important in breast cancer follow-up. Another important element was the continuity of care and the relationship with the MDT (multidisciplinary team). A good relationship instilled confidence in the patient's management rather than continual questioning requiring the same clinical information from the patient. Following a diagnosis of cancer and a period of uncertainty, confidence in the team was paramount. The vulnerability of the women was discussed, due to the sexual nature of the breast examination and the fear of recurrence caused women a lot of anxiety. Moreover the importance of the examination to the women was discussed and the importance of consistency in examination technique. Therefore communication between the MDT and the patients about treatment, health education and the opportunity for the women to talk and ask questions helped to reduce anxiety. All stakeholders discussed a model of shared care but aspects of patient management and resources would need to be in place to ensure safe practice. GPs did highlight some disadvantages to hospital based follow-up such as long waits, travel and lack of continuity. There was also dispute between hospital clinicians about clinical expertise and the transfer of care to community services. This was also raised by GPs and an element of developmental work would need to develop in a new model of care. The patients wanted to be seen at hospital but were not averse to being seen in the community setting. To conclude, the study findings concurred with the literature related to reassurance gained from attending follow-up clinics. However, NICE (2002) do not appear to take into account the views of the users and the importance of this element of multifaceted cancer care. As at the time of diagnosis of cancer there is time to make a decision, in follow-up there should be set junctures at which to discuss living and coping mechanisms. It may be at the end of cancer treatment some patients will require more follow-up than others. Follow-up may need to be individualised where some patients are discharged but others require more support thus moving away from the exact same follow-up programme for all as happens now.

Wherever you are in your career, and whatever involvement you have with caring for women with breast cancer, the fifth edition of 'Fast Facts: Breast Cancer' has something for you. The world-class authors of this popular fact-packed handbook provide practical advice on all the key areas of breast cancer management, from risk factors and diagnosis to treatment of all cancer stages. But what really makes it stand out from the crowd is the authors' awareness of the information you need when you talk to a woman concerned about breast cancer. The chapter dedicated to perception of risk will refresh your knowledge and help you talk to your patients about their individual prospects, while the short chapter on clinical trials will help you discuss potential participation in trials and answer common questions. Improvements in the management of breast cancer have followed three major themes in recent years: greater optimization of individualized local treatment, longer duration of therapies, and the use of biological therapies targeted at specific receptors. This colorful up-to-date handbook addresses all these trends, alongside the disturbing issues of overdiagnosis as a result of screening and overtreatment. Given the explosion in information technology, patients and their families have access to much more information on their condition and as a result assume a more active role in their medical management. Health professionals have an important role in helping patients sort the facts from the fallacies, put the risks and benefits into perspective and balance their treatment choices. For this reason alone, 'Fast Facts: Breast Cancer' is an invaluable evidence-based resource for everyone working in breast cancer care in primary and secondary settings, from medical and nursing students, to GPs, specialist nurses and residents. And one for your patients too … The authors encourage you to make your patients well-informed active partners in their breast cancer care by sharing this highly readable book with them. Contents: • Risk factors • Perception of risk • Pathophysiology • Diagnosis • Local control of primary tumor • Adjuvant therapy • Follow-up and rehabilitation • Management of advanced cancer • Clinical trials • Future trends • Useful resources
