From Publishers Weekly
From the team that wrote Listen to Your Body comes this authoritative, comprehensive guide to breast care. Obstetrician/gynecologist Lauersen of New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital and health writer Stukane take a confidence-inspiring stance that emphasizes the importance of preventive health care, understanding normal changes in breasts from puberty on, and?very importantly?trusting one's instincts. The impact of exercise, diet, stress, pregnancy and environmental factors are considered, as are oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy. For those dissatisfied with their breasts' appearance, there are clear explanations of the surgical options. While minor breast problems are discussed, cancer gets the most attention. There is information on new detection methods, various types of biopsies and the numerous surgical procedures now available. Breast cancer patients facing radiation therapy or chemotherapy will learn just what to expect; those opting for reconstruction will find the line drawings and photographs reassuring. The resources section, with its tips on locating up-to-date breast cancer information on the Internet, is an added bonus.

From Library Journal
This book by noted obstetrican/gynecologist Lauersen and women's health and nutrition writer Stukane is intended to give the general reader comprehensive coverage of all aspects of breast care. The authors previously collaborated on the best-selling Listen to Your Body (Berkeley, 1987). This new work is a disappointing effort from two such distinguished authors. It includes information on healthy breasts as well as various topics related to breast cancer, cosmetic surgery, healthy diet, and even choosing the correct bra size. While some parts of the text are clearly and concisely written and easy to understand, much of the information on breast cancer is complex and confusing. The organization leaves something to be desired as well; information about similar topics is scattered throughout the book, and lengthy chapter titles prevent easy location of areas of interest. Additionally, titling the introduction "Your Breasts: Your Pride and Your Worry" seems so ridiculous as to be almost offensive; are women to be proud of, and judged on, this aspect of their physical appearance? Libraries would do better with Miriam Stoppard's The Breast Book (LJ 6/1/96) or Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book (LJ 6/1/95). Recommended only for comprehensive collections.?Stacey Hathaway, Fordham Health Sciences Lib., Wright State Univ., Dayton, Ohio
