The Breast Cancer Survival Manual: A Trusted Guide For Women With Breast Cancer

By

The Breast Cancer Survival Manual, written by Dr. John Link, is a comprehensive and bestselling book on breast cancer treatment and survival. 

It has been a trusted resource for women with breast cancer for over two decades, and the recently released seventh edition provides essential updates on treatment and care.

Here's what you can expect to learn in the latest edition of this book:

  • Understanding Breast Cancer: The book explains how genetic factors can influence breast cancer and how breast cancer is now categorized based on these genetic factors. This helps doctors create personalized treatment plans that are more effective and have fewer side effects.

  • Personalized Treatment Plans: With new genetic testing, doctors can now tailor treatment plans to each patient's specific cancer. This may mean less chemotherapy is needed for some patients.

  • Treatment Options: The book discusses how the order of treatment is sometimes changing. This means some women may be able to avoid surgery or other procedures.

  • Monitoring Treatment: New blood tests can help doctors monitor how well a treatment is working and if the cancer is likely to return.

  • Second Opinions: The book emphasizes the importance of getting a second opinion from a breast cancer specialist, especially to review the results of diagnostic tests.

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy: The book also discusses the use of hormone replacement therapy after breast cancer treatment.

Written by a leading breast cancer oncologist, The Breast Cancer Survival Manual is a valuable resource for women with breast cancer who are looking for clear and up to date information about their treatment options.
