Book Description
IN THIS STUDY, A RETROSPECTIVE, DESCRIPTIVE DESIGN WAS EMPLOYED TO EXAMINE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEPTION OF RISK AND SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES (MAMMOGRAPHY AND CLINICAL BREAST EXAMINATION) OF WOMEN WITH A FAMILY HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER. The Revised Susceptibility, Benefits, and Barriers Scale for Mammography Screening, the CES-D, and a demographic form were administered to a convenience sample of 56 women. There were no significant findings between perceived risk and screening, nor between age or depressive symptoms with perceived risk or screening behaviors. Women with post-secondary qualifications were found to be more likely to obtain regular mammograms (X2 =7.423, df= 1, p =0.006). The level of depressive symptomology was high with 34.5% of participants scoring> 16 on the CES-D.A substantial portion of participants reported depressive symptoms at a level associated with clinically significant levels of depression. Women over age 50 reported significantly more depressive symptoms (t =2.279, p .027). Overall perceived risk was not found to have an association with screening, however depression should be considered more closely when dealing with women with higher-than-average risk of breast cancer.

Book Description
The second edition of this book has been extensively revised and updated. There has been a lot of scientific advances in the radiology, pathology and risk assessment of benign breast lesions since the publication of the first edition. The first edition concentrated on screen-detected lesions, which has been rectified. New symptomatic and screen-detected lesions are discussed in the second edition and include: mastitis and breast abscess, idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, diabetic mastopathy, phyllodes tumour, gynaecomastia and pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia. The chapters on columnar cell lesions and mucocele-like lesions have been extensively updated. Where applicable, genetic analysis of the benign lesions which in breast cancer is becoming part of personalised medicine has been included. The book includes detailed analysis of the main models such as the Gail Model used to assess the subsequent risk of breast cancer in individuals. The current trend in the management of all cancers is preventative. Screening mammography detects early curable cancers as well as indeterminate lesions. These indeterminate mammographic lesions are invariably pathologically benign. The author collated important benign lesions and based on peer-reviewed publications documented the relative risk of subsequent cancer to allow the patient and the clinician to institute preventative measures where possible. This book therefore will be an essential part of multidisciplinary management of patients with symptomatic and screen-detected benign breast lesions.
