Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book by Susan M Love Md

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.

Susan Love, MD, MBA, is an author, surgeon, researcher, entrepreneur and mother. She is the Chief Visionary Officer of the Dr. Susan Love Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, and a founder and Director of the National Breast Cancer Coalition. Dr. Love is responsible for the Love Research Army, formerly known as the Army of Women, a pioneering online approach to linking those who are willing to participate in breast cancer studies and the scientists who need them. This has developed into a vital resource for fast-tracking research on the disease.

Elizabeth Love is a journalist, researcher and translator who has worked for various publications while living in Latin America, South Africa, and Egypt. She translated the fifth and sixth editions of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book into Spanish and is planning to do so for the seventh edition as well. She currently lives in California.
