Breast Cancer Your Treatment Choices Paperback

Cancer treatments have been revolutionised in recent years, and women are increasingly expected to take an active part in their breast cancer care, and are often faced with complex choices to make. But, a busy and stressful hospital clinic typically gives little time for detailed explanations. So how do you know which treatment is best for you? Which offers the best chance of a cure, and will you be able to cope with any side effects? Written by a leading consultant oncologist, this book gives the basic information needed to make informed choices about cancer care, including key facts about surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and complementary treatments. It also covers advanced breast cancer.
