520 "Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy
in women and the second leading cause of cancer-related
deaths in American women. Although cardiovascular-related
deaths significantly outnumber breast cancer deaths,
breast cancer is arguably the most feared diagnosis among
American women. Great strides have been made to heighten
public awareness of breast cancer, with particular
emphasis on early detection with mammography. Breast
radiologists regularly witness the extreme anxiety that
just the thought of being diagnosed with breast cancer can
cause a patient. This anxious anticipation is often
heightened by a lack of knowledge about what to expect
from the process of breast imaging evaluation, which is
frustrating for both patient and practitioner and can
negatively affect the experience. Physicians often
encounter patients who have little or no understanding of
the reasoning behind the examination or procedure about to
be performed-sometimes even up to the day of their breast
cancer surgery. Furthermore, most women who undergo breast
evaluations will not be diagnosed with cancer. The
incidence of breast cancer is only 125.3 per 100,000 women
(or 3-6 in every 1,000 screenings), however, symptoms of
benign breast abnormalities are quite common and impact
many more lives. Accurately diagnosing these non-cancerous
conditions can alleviate much anxiety, in addition to
helping patients towards a correct treatment plan. The
Breast Test Book is a straightforward guide to the process
of radiologic breast evaluations. Based on the most
current scientific research and best standards of clinical
practice, it will help debunk myths, shed light on
misinformation, and provide clear facts about what women
should expect from these screenings. This improved
understanding will ultimately allow patients to play more
active roles in their own care and, in the event that a
diagnosis is made, give them confidence in their
treatment. "--|cProvided by publisher.
