by Matt Smith
- Jun 10, 2014
CHICAGO, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ Women today are very aware of breast cancer. They know the risks, perform self-exams, support non-profits to advance research, and typically know someone who has battled the disease. Still, hearing the words 'you have cancer' throws nearly every woman into a crisis. When it happens to you, the feeling of empowerment dwindles. Fear sets in. Confusion and uncertainty grow. But knowledge is power. Dennis Citrin, MB, ChB, PhD, a medical oncologist from Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center (Midwestern), has dedicated nearly 40 years to helping women survive breast cancer. His vast experience and research led him to write the book Knowledge is Power: What Every Woman Should Know About Breast Cancer. Released in May, the honest and informative book helps women understand the disease and invites them to become a partner in developing their treatment plan.
