Infos

This book comprehensively addresses various aspects of breast cancer survivorship issues, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork in their management. What sets this work apart is its collaborative approach, incorporating insights from diverse healthcare professionals.

With increasing survival rates and prolonged disease-free periods, there is a strong need in managing breast cancer treatment in the short and long-term. This book underscores the necessity of addressing often overlooked or underestimated issues during the survivorship phase, contributing to enhance the knowledge from both the patient and healthcare provider perspectives.

The book's content is thoughtfully organized to ensure accessibility, targeting not only specialized readers but also undergraduate health professional students, including physical therapists and nurses, who intend to delve deeper into the field of breast cancer care.

This book will be an invaluable guide not only for healthcare professionals such as oncologists, hematologists, surgeons, physical therapists, nurses, nutritionists, and psychologists, but also for undergraduate students pursuing bachelor's degrees in these fields. Additionally, it offers valuable insights and support to breast cancer survivors on their journey to recovery.
