(Ebook) Common Issues in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Practical Guide to Evaluation and Management by Gretchen G. Kimmick (Editor), Rebecca A. Shelby (Editor), Linda M. Sutton (Editor) ISBN 9783030753764, 303075376X

The goal for composing this textbook was to provide a clinically useful
resource containing knowledge about how to evaluate and manage symptoms
and issues that cause burden in those who have been diagnosed and treated
for breast cancer. The book has been edited by two oncologists, each with
over two decades of experience treating breast cancer and taking care of survivors,
and one clinical psychologist, who is specifically trained in both
psycho-oncology and sex therapy, with the purpose of integrating the two
specialties within each chapter to provide comprehensive evaluation and
management recommendations.
As much as possible, each chapter is coauthored by at least one oncologistand one specialist outside the field of oncology, in order to include the perspective
of relevant disciplines and make the text comprehensive, user-friendly,
and clinically applicable. We also asked that, where appropriate,
authors provide: (1) a reasonable approach to evaluating each issue, including
a list of baseline evaluations especially to rule out other, non-cancer, causes
that are potentially treatable and (2) an algorithmic approach to management.
We believe that this is the first textbook to provide a single resource for common
issues faced by breast cancer survivors from a truly multidisciplinary
standpoint.
