When it comes to breast cancer, as it has become a highly curable condition, survivorship is an up-to-date subject to be discussed by physicians and – why not? – by patients and their families. However, many books about cancer survivorship focus on general health issues and treatments' side effects, putting aside what patients should have known about it. Navigating breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship: a practical handbook for patients, written by Max Mano, a renowned Brazilian oncologist specialized in treating breast cancer, provides guidance to patients who are facing diagnosis, treatment and survivorship experience. From basic notions about breast cancer to specific issues, such as patient advocacy and financial constraints, this handbook can be an important support for patients dealing with a frightening disease. In its 80 pages, with a limited use of medical references and jargons, Navigating breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship: a practical handbook for patients provides patients information in an understanding, simple and concise way, gathering key messages that can impact their lives. Oncology has brought hope to many people in last decades. Now, it's time for providing support for everyone that may need this hope in their daily lives.
