The New Generation Breast Cancer Book: How to Navigate Your Diagnosis and Treatment Options-and Remain Optimistic-in an Age of Information Overload

From the Chief of Breast Surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Co-director of the Dubin Breast Center in Manhattan, the definitive guide to managing breast cancer in the information age, an optimistic antidote to internet information about screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment

Breast cancer survival rates have improved dramatically in a quick generation. But remaining optimistic and focused on the right care can be challenging in an age when an online search leads to thousands of often unreliable sources. Add to this the well-meaning input of friends and colleagues and even the most resilient patient will begin to feel confused and anxious.

Written by one of the world’s leading breast cancer surgeons-she consults with 2,000 patients a year and operates on about 500-The New Generation Breast Cancer Book is the one-stop, expert guide to today’s cutting-edge care. From innovations in screening, genetic testing and evaluating results, to what to expect and ask about surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, breast reconstruction, post-treatment medications and living as a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Elisa Port walks the reader through every possible test and every last doctor visit, providing a comprehensive, and empathetic guide that every newly-diagnosed woman (and her family) will want to have.
