This thoughtfully planned handbook describes the different but complementary roles of the family practitioner, specialist nurses, surgeons and oncologists in the care of the patient with breast disease. This includes not only breast cancer, but also benign lumps and cysts, rashes, discharges, and breast pain. The text is enhanced with case studies followed by discussions between the authors that further highlight specific clinical issues or other aspects that may concern patients and their families.
