DRESSED TO KILL: THE LINK BETWEEN BREAST CANCER AND BRAS(SECOND EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码： 12346617C00006

English Summary/英文概要： Breast cysts and cancer are epidemic at this time in history. The healthcare industry says that the cause of 70 percent of all breast cancer is unknown. Dressed to Kill helps solve this mystery, explaining how one of the greatest threats to breast health is something that women do to themselves every day. This book has its roots in a personal crisis in the authors’ lives, when Soma was shocked to find a lump in her breast while pregnant. Looking for clues regarding the cause of the lump led this husband-and-wife medical anthropology team to develop a new theory and to conduct an extensive survey of nearly 5,000 United States women, half of whom had breast cancer, in an attempt to uncover a hidden cause of this devastating disease.

Pioneers in the new field of Applied Medical Anthropology, Singer and Grismaijer explain their unique approach to researching and understanding the cultural causes of disease in easy-to-read language that is accessible to the layperson and professional alike. Dressed to Kill has already had an impact on the healthcare and fashion worlds, moving some doctors to rethink the prevention and treatment of breast disease, and some clothing designers to rethink their products. Controversial for its challenge to established custom and medical dogma, this breakthrough book is already a classic, and in this updated d edition, it continues to suggest new ways of dealing with an old and all-too-common women’s health issue.

在应用医学人类学的新领域的先驱，辛格和格里斯梅杰解释了他们独特的方法来研究和理解疾病的文化原因，通俗易懂的语言是外行人和专业人士一样。“穿衣杀人”已经对医疗保健和时尚界产生了影响，促使一些医生重新思考乳腺疾病的预防和治疗，一些服装设计师重新思考他们的产品。这本突破性的书已经是一本经典之作，它挑战了既定的习俗和医学教条，并在这个更新的版，它继续提出新的方法来处理一个古老的和太常见的妇女健康问题。(WYL)
