摘要
A reliable, empowering guide for anyone concerned about the unique issues surrounding women's cancers
-- This new edition includes a new chapter on lung cancer, the leading cause of death from cancer in women
Empowerment and information are key for anyone facing this prevalent women's health issue. The authors, both oncology nurses with more than 50 years of experience between them, set out to help women become more knowledgeable and assertive in seeking their own healthcare.
In sensitive and honest language, Women's Cancers addresses breast, cervical, ovarian, uterine, and lung cancer. It discusses the issues that arise with their diagnosis, and examines medical treatments and complementary therapies. The authors analyze cancer statistics and pinpoint high-risk groups, then teach what each woman can do to lower her risk. New information in the second edition includes:
-- The latest screening guidelines and diagnostic tests
-- Information on the breast cancer gene and what its discovery means for women
-- Recent cancer-prevention findings
-- What to expect from changes in the healthcare and insurance industries
With few books available on cancers that uniquely affect women, Women's Cancers provides accurate, comprehensive information that can make a difference to women, their families, and their healthcare providers.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Among the many fine guides available for women diagnosed with breast cancer, only two exist on ovarian and uterine cancer. This one is by two oncology nurses whose own lives were touched by cancer and who draw upon personal and professional experiences in purveying current medical information regarding cervical, vaginal, and vulvular cancer and cancers of the breast, ovaries, and uterus. McGinn and Haylock cover prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, post-treatment, and the emotions these processes release in the individuals involved. They also address choosing a medical team; the basic mechanics of cancer; causes of cancer; local, systemic, and unconventional therapies; and life after treatment. They take pains to make the content as easy to understood as possible, including a glossary of technical terms highlighted in the text, illustrating procedures and findings with clear line drawings, and listing questions to ask physicians about each disorder or therapy. Their guide is also significant for its encouragement of women's self-empowerment, advice on pursuing a healthy life-style, and advocacy for women's health funding and research.

This thorough guide covers breast, cervical, ovarian, uterine, and vaginal cancers in depth, discussing prevention, diagnosis, and traditional as well as alternative therapies. The authors, both oncology nurses, seek to empower and encourage women to be assertive healthcare consumers. With cancer affecting one in four families in the United States today and the incidence of women's cancers rapidly increasing, there's certainly a need for titles in this field. While Women and Cancer (Harrington Park Pr., 1987) discusses survival and gender behaviors, and Women with Cancer (Springer-Verlag, 1986) covers psychological aspects, Women's Cancers is fully comprehensive, helpful to patients and healthcare workers alike.
