Description
Studies throughout the world have demonstrated the success of screening programs in significantly reducing breast cancer mortality rates. The revolution in imaging, through new advances in mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance techniques, has increased the detection of minimal, often non-palpable, carcinomas in the early stages.
A comprehensive overview for radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists, Early Breast Cancer presents a wide-ranging analysis of diagnosis, pathology, and multidisciplinary management of the early breast cancer patient.
