Product Description

Reviews the benefits and disadvantages of management options and discusses considerations such as cost, psychological management, and legal and ethical issues. DNLM: Breast Neoplasms.
From the Back Cover
This book is the first to identify women who are at increased risk for developing breast cancer as a large and increasingly important population in need of special health-care attention. By examining the factors that contribute to their risk and using quantitative risk models, Management of patients at High Risk offers practical, authoritative guidance in the management of these patients, both healthy and ill. The book covers the spectrum of issues clinicians face in providing expert counsel and effective, human care-including the many diagnostic and therapeutic options available. Chapters summarize the most recent thinking on generics, epidemiology, and the role of mammography, pharmacologic and surgical prevention and treatment. The authors review both the benefits and disadvantages of various management options and discusses important considerations such as costs, psychological management, and the associated legal and ethical issues. A practical model for organizing a risk assessment clinic is also presented.
