The Handbook of Breast Cancer and Related Breast Disease is a comprehensive guide to the management and treatment of breast malignancies and related non-neoplastic lesions. This handbook, edited by Katherine H. R. Tkaczuk MD, Susan B. Kesmodel MD, and Steven J. Feigenberg MD, brings together leading experts in the field to provide evidence-based strategies for all stages of breast cancer and nonmalignant breast disease.

One of the key strengths of this handbook is its chronological organization, which allows readers to navigate through the different stages of breast cancer care. The book begins with discussions on breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and management, and continues with sections on survivorship care and related medical issues. This organization ensures that readers have a comprehensive understanding of the entire spectrum of breast cancer management.

The chapters in this handbook contain practical and up-to-date treatment strategies for all patient subsets. The authors discuss the management of patients with high-risk breast lesions, invasive breast carcinoma at each stage, and all known molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Surgical, radiation, and medical treatment options are all covered, ensuring that readers have a well-rounded understanding of the different modalities available.

One particularly useful aspect of this handbook is its coverage of genomic testing in the management of early stage breast cancer. The authors provide valuable insights on how genomic testing can be used to guide treatment decisions and personalize therapy for patients. This is a rapidly evolving area of breast cancer management, and the inclusion of this topic highlights the authors’ commitment to providing readers with the most up-to-date information.

The handbook also addresses the important topic of survivorship issues. With increasing survival rates for breast cancer patients, it is crucial to provide comprehensive care for survivors. This book outlines strategies for addressing the unique needs of survivors, including potential long-term side effects of treatment and psychological support.

Throughout the book, key points are highlighted in each chapter to provide management pearls and summarize important concepts and clinical recommendations. This makes it easy for readers to quickly reference key information and take away practical tips that can be applied in their clinical practice.

The Handbook of Breast Cancer and Related Breast Disease is not only a valuable resource for residents, fellows, and early-career practitioners, but also for community oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists, primary care practitioners, and OBGYNs.
