This wrenching contrast is the cancer divide—an equity imperative in global health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnaul exposes barriers affecting women in low and middle-income countries and highlights the role of men, family, and community in responding to the challenge of breast cancer. She shares striking data about breast cancer, a leading killer of young women in developing countries, and narrates the process of applying this evidence and launching \u003ci\u003eTómatelo a Pecho\u003c\/i\u003e (also the book title in Spanish)—a Mexico-based program promoting awareness and access to health care. The book concludes with letters from Dr. Julio Frenk, her husband and former Minister of Health of Mexico, written while they shared the trauma of diagnosis and treatment. With force and lucidity, the book narrates the journey of patient and family as they courageously navigate disease and survivorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017592750320,"sku":"9780982914410","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780982914410_p0.jpg?v=1763882042","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780982914410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
