Today's breast cancer treatments are more successful than ever, and awareness of the importance of breast exams, mammograms, and early detection is high. Yet women are still dying of this highly curable disease. Why?
In Knowledge Is Power, Dennis L. Citrin, MB ChB PhD lifts the veil on breast cancer to expose the truths that contribute to the deaths of more than 40,000 women in the United States per year, some of which could be avoided through early detection and appropriate treatment.
Complemented by real stories from his patients, Dr. Citrin breaks down the facts about breast cancer, including the nature and progression of the disease and how to achieve a proper diagnosis. He describes the many evidence-based innovations in breast cancer treatment that are available to us, including breast-conserving surgery, radiation and targeted drug therapy. In this powerful book, he gives us the information we need to battle this curable disease, and helps relieve the fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis
Through this inspiring and highly approachable book, Dr. Citrin provides us all with hope and encouragement. Every person touched by breast cancer deserves a better understanding of this disease.
Don't let fear and uncertainty undermine your health. When it comes to breast cancer, knowledge truly is power.
