4 STAR REVIEW!
andquot;This is an excellent reference for fellows and other clinicians caring for patients with breast disease. Its main advantages over similar books are the breadth of coverage as well as the quality of information and analysis. The previous edition was published four years ago, a long time in the rapidly changing field of breast oncology, and this new edition is certainly warranted.andquot; - Ingrid M Lizarraga, MBBS, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, on behalf of Doodyand#39;s Review
Synopsis
Breast Cancer has a major impact on the health of women. In American women, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. In women 40-55, breast cancer is the leading cause of all mortality. Diseases of the Breast is an up-to-date, single-source compilation of important knowledge on breast diseases presented in a form accessible to practicing clinicians. Leading experts summarize the current knowledge of breast diseases including their clinical features, management, and underlying biologies and epidemiologies. In addition to covering the malignant forms of breast cancer, benign diseases are also discussed in relation to subsequent breast cancer development. The book reviews all major clinical trials in this area and relates the new information they provide on the early detection and management (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormonal interventions) of breast cancer. Finally, considerable space is devoted to the increasing importance of molecular biology and genetics in this field.
