Many women will be demanding to know their degree of risk and  will need counselling to cope with that information. This book is  particularly aimed at primary health care professionals, including  physicians, medical assistants, nurses and counsellors, who daily deal  with questions from women concerned about their risk of developing  breast cancer. To answer such questions, this book has combined a  guide to identifying women at higher risk to breast cancer, with a  balanced review of approaches which aim to reduce that risk. The book  provides practical general measures which may reduce risk for women at  average risk. For women at clearly increased risk various protective  options with different levels of efficacy and acceptability are  discussed. \u003cbr\u003e  Central to the book is the patient-centered view. We need to face  reality that it still will take many years before the current clinical  trials of preventive measures provide meaningful results. Meanwhile,  women who seek to diminish their risk of breast cancer need all the  available information. They must be given full responsibility to make  an informed decision on their own health care. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReducing Breast Cancer Risk in Women\u003c\/em\u003e is a practical handbook,  technicalities have been deliberately kept to a minimum, making it  concise and easy to read. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401042192\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0489-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 252\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312032370828,"sku":"9789401042192","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401042192.jpg?v=1771516168","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401042192","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
