Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other primary care providers are often required to advise patients about breast health and breast cancer screening, to assess various breast complaints, and identify indications for surgical referral. They are expected to know the latest evidence on breast cancer risk and prevention but have not always been trained to advise patients about breast health and disease or to evaluate and manage common breast problems.

Intended as a practical reference, this book offers a systematic approach to frequently encountered questions about breast health; cancer risk; and prevention, evaluation, and management of common breast problems. It includes algorithms for the diagnosis, management, and referral of breast problems, and an approach to counselling women about breast cancer risk and screening options.

Breast Health and Common Breast Problems will serve as a valuable tool for assessing and managing common breast problems and as a sensitive guide to understanding unanticipated perceptions and challenges when advising women about breast cancer risk, prevention, and benign breast disease.
