Breast cancer education is a complex process encompassing information on screening, prevention, supportive care, and clinical trials. It includes fact sheets, news, and information from a wide array of resources. It can be derived from databases and statistics for those in research. It can provide a source of profound comfort for patients and families. Women who are informed are better empowered to guide the progress of their care.
Education can be the beginning of any cancer healing process.
