Produktbeschreibung

Now in this, its second edition, this fully revised clinical guidebook is an essential resource for the practitioner, allowing quick, authoritative access to the latest and best in multimodality therapies. Topics covered in this volume include everything from screening for early detection of breast cancer, through diagnostic radiology and ultrasonography, to post-treatment rehabilitation, symptom management and quality of life. Two new chapters on molecular prognostic and predictive markers, and sexuality and fertility issues in women with breast cancer, have been added. This is the 7th volume in the M.D. Anderson Cancer Care Series, featuring the best standard treatment protocols from the experts at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. As more is learned about the relative roles of different treatment modalities, a pattern of practice is emerging where several different disciplines are involved early in the diagnostic and treatment phases of breast cancer. It is this that makes this multimodal guide so timely.
