Synopsis
In this collection of articles, a senior research scientist and a sociologist team up to examine the sociology of breast cancer, arguing that women with this deadly condition have yet to receive optimal health services. Their argument is supported with the research of 11 health authorities who feel that doctors perpetuate the popularity of unnecessary mastectomies and that chemotherapy companies influence research projects to serve their own financial needs.
