There are several good on-line sources of cancer-related news and research. Try the National Institutes of Health on-line consensus statements at: http://odp.od.nih.gov/consensus/ or PDQ—The National Cancer Institute's Comprehensive Cancer Database—at http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/pdq.htm

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: Nonmalignant conditions of the breast, ACOG Technical Bulletin, no. 156, June 1991.

This is one of many ACOG technical bulletins. It is dense but goes into detail about nonmalignant breast problems. This reference should be used to delve further into a particular nonmalignant breast problem.
