This is a single-author book on breast pathology written in simple language with numerous fully annotated illustrations, Management of breast diseases/ cancer requires a team approach and a number of physicians (surgeons, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists), nurses, physician assistants, pathology assistants and basic science researchers are involved directly or indirectly with patient care.
Pathology is the basis of understanding any disease process and is very important for every specialist; but unfortunately it is a field that only pathologists understand.
This breast pathology book contains useful information for both pathologists and non-pathologists.
It has been written keeping the “busy physician” in mind.
Therefore, un-necessary details and pathology jargon has been excluded and only clinically relevant information is provided.
The book contains numerous microscopic images and all of them are explained not only using legends but also pointers (such as arrow/ circles, etc.
) to point a specific cell, cell abnormality or staining pattern.
The book also includes a chapter on “Frequently Asked Questions”.
Many of these thought-provoking and interesting questions have been asked by authors colleagues over the last ten years.
The answers to these questions provide a unique perspective of breast pathology in routine practice.
