What to expect
Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book has long been the bible for the newly diagnosed. In this completely revised fifth edition, it also becomes a guide for those at risk of getting breast cancer, survivors interested in the consequences of their treatment, and anyone who wants to understand the new research about how the local environment influences the manifestations and treatments of many different kinds of breast cancer. Major advances being made in genetic research today mean that prevention and treatment can work not only to get rid of mutated cells (through chemo or surgery) but also to change the environment around the cells (through hormone therapy, exercise, and stress reduction). Among other promising developments discussed are advances in imaging, recognition of breast density as a risk factor, and a section focused on personalized medicine to help determine what kind of cancer you have and how best to treat it.
Any woman facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, or concerns about prevention will find in Dr. Love’s book the information, guidance, and reassurance she needs.
Critics Review
“The seminal work for any woman facing the disease.”
“I was impressed by how plainly and intelligently Love…presented the research findings about mammography.”
“Comprehensive and candid.”
“Dr. Love writes that it’s not just a matter of having cells with mutations of cancer but also an environment egging them on.”
“A candid, authoritative, and splendidly well-written guide for women facing a diagnosis, decisions about treatment, and concerns about prevention of breast cancer…Highly recommended.”
“Many shifts in breast health science make this massive coverage a key acquisition for any health library.”
“An owner’s manual for breasts.”
“[A] splendidly well-written guide to a part of the body about which most women know surprisingly little…Quotes from Love’s patients lend additional scope..”
“The woman who almost singlehandedly brought public attention to the mammillary part of our bodies keeps the updates coming…No library should be without it.”
“The go-to guide for millions of women concerned about breast disorders—cancer in particular…A definitive resource…Present[s] technical information in clear prose meant to be understood by the average woman…Deserve[s] a place on every breast cancer patient’s bookshelf.”
“[Love is a] breast cancer guru.”
“Twenty years after the first edition, Dr. Love writes with optimism about advances in the science of breast cancer diagnosis…She won’t lead you astray. For newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients, this book is still a great guide.”
“More than a bible for those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s now also a guide for survivors, those at risk and anyone who wants to understand the environmental connection.”
“This is the bible on the topic…The sheer size of the book attests to the body of new knowledge that exists regarding prevention, diagnostic tools, and treatment options.”
“There is simply no more clear-headed and comprehensive guide to this often devastating disease than Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book, and the new edition is the most information-packed one yet.”
