ISBN: 978-1-62618-461-9
Book Description:
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed
type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung
cancer. It is estimated that breast cancer affects more than 1,000,000 women
worldwide each year, and about 450,000 die from the disease. During the last
decades, breast cancer has received considerable attention, yet it is a very
old disease that was described years and years ago. This book provides a
summary of breast cancer history. It covers the ages from the ancient times to
the early 2000's, but mainly focuses on the 20th century and its numerous
discoveries and inventions in the field of breast cancer detection, analysis
and treatment.
