Even the most exciting new technologies remain clouded with uncertainty. \u003ci\u003eMammography and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the state of breast cancer screening and diagnosis and recommends steps for developing the most reliable breast cancer detection methods possible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book reviews the dramatic expansion of breast cancer awareness and screening, examining the capabilities and limitations of current and emerging technologies for breast cancer detection and their effectiveness at actually reducing deaths. The committee discusses issues including national policy toward breast cancer detection, roles of public and private agencies, problems in determining the success of a technique, availability of detection methods to specific populations of women, women's experience during the detection process, cost-benefit analyses, and more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining current practices and specifying research and other needs, \u003ci\u003eMammography and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e will be an indispensable resource to policy makers, public health officials, medical practitioners, researchers, women's health advocates, and concerned women and their families.Table of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExecutive Summary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1  Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2  Breast Imaging and Related Technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3  Technologies in Development:  Genetics and Tumor Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4  Development and Regulation of New Technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5  Evaluation and Cost Coverage of New Technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6  Dissemination:  Increasing the Use and Availability of New Technologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7  Findings and Recommendations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix:  Workshop speakers and other contributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56933752471926,"sku":"9780309216562","price":58.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39201392_baae66a8-4a15-4660-97e5-4d628655170d.jpg?v=1767059545","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780309216562-mammography-and-beyond","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
