Light in the Darkness: (New Hope for Women With Breast Cancer)

The novel ability for surgeons to perform surgery not just in standard operating room light, but also in fluorescent light is perhaps the greatest advancement in more than 50 years, allowing them to find and see cancerous tumors and other anatomical structures like never before. And in no area is fluorescence imaging being used more or more supported by research than during breast cancer surgery. This beautifully-illustrated and very easy-to-read book book tells the true-to-life story of a young mother with newly-diagnosed breast cancer, and how fluorescence imaging can be used to help both surgeons and patients achieve a cancer-free outcome. A MUST READ for all persons facing breast cancer surgery, especially if they have children or other loved ones they want to reassure. Written by nine-time international award-winning author Kevin White. Stunningly illustrated by award-winning illustrator Nadia Ilchuk.
