Saving Women's Lives: Strategies for Improving Breast Cancer Detection and Diagnosis
The outlook for women with breast cancer has improved in recent years. Medical books Saving Women's Lives. Due to the combination of improved treatments and the benefits of mammography screening, breast cancer mortality has decreased steadily since 1989. Yet breast cancer remains a major problem, second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of death from cancer for women. To date, no means to prevent breast cancer has been discovered and experience has shown that treatments are most effective when a cancer is detected early, before it has spread to other tissues. These two facts suggest that the most effective way to continue reducing the death toll from breast cancer is improved early detection and diagnosis Medical books Saving Women's Lives: Strategies for Improving Breast Cancer Dete ....

National Academies Press 2005. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Thanks to higher rates of early detection and new treatments the mortality rate from breast cancer has declined steadily but still about 40000 women die of breast cancer each year and about 200000 new cases are diagnosed. This is partially because there is at present no certain way to prevent breast cancer and the technology and trained personnel sometimes are not adequate to make proper diagnoses. In addition many women decline to undergo mammograms based on fear stories in the media or personal experience with false positives or

Medical Book Saving Women's Lives
Due to the combination of improved treatments and the benefits of mammography screening, breast cancer mortality has decreased steadily since 1989. Yet breast cancer remains a major problem, second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of death from cancer for women. To date, no means to prevent breast cancer has been discovered and experience has shown that treatments are most effective when a cancer is detected early, before it has spread to other tissues. These two facts suggest that the most effective way to continue reducing the death toll from breast cancer is improved early detection and diagnosis. Building on the 2001 report "Mammography and Beyond", this new book not only examines ways to improve implementation and use of new and current breast cancer detection technologies but also evaluates the need to develop tools that identify women who would benefit most from early detection screening. "Saving Women's Lives: Strategies for Improving Breast Cancer Detection and Diagnosis" encourages more research that integrates the development, validation, and analysis of the types of technologies in clinical practice that promote improved risk identification techniques. In this way, methods and technologies that improve detection and diagnosis can be more effectively developed and implemented.
