Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This new edition of 'Breast Lumps' (which was first published in 1994) provides updated information on both benign breast conditions and breast cancer. The book has been substantially revised, particularly with regard to the changes that have occurred in the treatment of breast cancer during the last few years. It includes details of the recently introduced guidelines for breast cancer treatment in the UK and discusses all aspects of the management of breast lumps and the ways in which this differs in the UK and USA. It is vital that women are involved in the decisions made about their health and it is therefore important that they have access to as much information as possible to enable them to make the choices that are right for them.It is hoped that this second edition of Breast Lumps will help women, their families and carers to have a clear understanding of the various breast conditions and that it will clarify specific aspects that women may want to raise with their doctors and/or breast care nurses.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Although prostate cancer is rare in men before the age of 40, it may be present in 20% of men by the age of 50 and in about 80% by the age of 80. However, in many cases it does not cause any symptoms and remains clinically undetected, with death occurring due to other, unrelated, causes. Most prostate cancers are quite slow growing, although in some men - for reasons that remain unclear - they can progress more rapidly. The causes of prostate cancer are not yet understood, but it is known to have an ethnic association. There is also evidence that it has a genetic basis - men with a first-degree relative with prostate cancer being at greater than normal risk of developing the disease. This book provides up-to-date, clear explanations of what is currently known about prostate cancer. It describes the treatments that are available, as well as the different types of complementary therapies, and discusses possible risk factors and the potential role of diet in the development of the disease.…
