Description
Written by an internationally recognized expert in diagnostic breast pathology, this gold-standard text and reference is now in its revised, updated, and expanded Third Edition. It provides a comprehensive, extensively illustrated review of the clinical, radiological, pathological, and therapeutic aspects of the entire spectrum of breast diseases. More than 3,000 full-color illustrations—1,200 new to this edition—provide the true-to-life perspective essential to accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and management. Highlights of this edition include updated information on immunohistochemistry, molecular diagnostics, tissue microarrays, and gene expression profiling; discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of needle core biopsy; descriptions of basal-like carcinoma; and a greatly expanded discussion of pathological and clinical controversies regarding sentinel lymph node mapping.
A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
