Albert R. Milan M.D. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 6, 1980

The illustrated step-by-step techniques of a noted doctor, now for use at home by all women over the age of 20. How to replace worry with confidence during a monthly three-part ten-minute inspection that can dramatically reduce the incidence of death from breast cancer.

"There is hardly a female in America past the age of puberty who has not heard that early detection could save her life," points out the New York Times, while the Kirkus Review announces, "Brief and to the point, this is one book that could convince dilatory women to begin a program of self-examination." 57,000 copies in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "MUST HAVE" book for every woman, December 12, 2002

This review is from: Breast Self-Examination (Paperback)

About 90% of breast cancers are discovered by women themselves - but unfortunately not always in time. This book give women all the information they need to do a thorough self exam on a monthly basis. I have breast cancer for the fifth time - all five times discovered through self examination. This beautiful book was written in 1980 and is not outdated at all. The drawing illustrations are fantastic. I am purchasing 25 books this Christmas for my daughters, sisters and special ladies in my life. Please buy this book!
