Healthcare, one of the premier medical scientific publishers, published earlier this month a revised and updated Second Edition of its bestseller: Breast Cancer: Prognosis, Treatment, and Prevention.

According to the Global Cancer Facts and Figures report, in 2007 cancer killed some 7.6 million people around the world. By 2020 the World Health Organization estimates the cancer death rate will grow to 10 million per year. Breast cancer alone affects one in every nine women worldwide.

But there is hope. The rapid pace of research-whereby findings quickly are integrated into standard therapy and treatment protocols-promises significant developments which will save lives. This momentum makes it critical for professionals to continually keep pace with the latest breakthroughs in the field.

Edited by Professor Jorge R. Pasqualini-and with contributions from key opinion leaders around the world- Breast Cancer: Prognosis, Treatment, and Prevention compiles all the latest research findings along with the most innovative clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines into one cohesive, comprehensive resource for physicians.

Breast Cancer: Prognosis, Treatment, and Prevention delivers the most up-to-date data on therapeutic strategies, prognostic and predictive factors, and prevention strategies - including the beneficial role of physical activity in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. However, that's not all; Breast Cancer also examines the biological, genetic, and molecular pathways linked to the development and progression of breast cancer-including new information on the mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis.
