Background

Originally developed for distribution by CDROM in 1998, the Breast Cancer Review underwent content updates in 2001 and 2004. The most recent and current version, developed in 2007, represents further changes to both content and format, which have been written and designed for helping our visitors find the information they are seeking more quickly and easily.

Description

Summary overviews are provided for nine main topic areas (see left sidebar). Each topic is presented on a single web page. All nine topic pages are accompanied by a secondary web page of links to additional Internet resources and current medical news. These secondary pages are easily accessed from the main topic pages or from the left sidebar.

The Breast Cancer Review can be browsed for reference by topic or navigated in its entirety from beginning to end. Use the site Search feature to quickly find text about specific areas of interest. Providers are encouraged to utilize the Breast Cancer Review on a regular and ongoing basis.

All content is reviewed periodically; the date of review and/or update can be found at the bottom of each page. For specific contributors and reviewers, please see Acknowledgements.

Terms of Use

The Breast Cancer Review is not an expression of medical opinion, diagnosis, prognosis or treatment recommendation for any particular patient. It should be used for informational purposes only. The Cancer Detection Section does not dispense clinical advice or patient care consultation. Links to other web resources are offered as a courtesy; no endorsement is made or implied.  While every care has been taken in their selection, CDS makes no claims as to the validity, quality, or viability of their content.
