New edition of a reference on the management of diseases of the breast. Rosen (pathology, New York Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital) discusses each topic by detailing clinical presentation and mammography, epidemiology, gross pathology, microscopic pathology (including electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry), differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Several chapters deal with broad subjects such as precancerous pathology, staging of carcinoma, biological markers of prognosis, the pathological effects of therapy, cytologic and needle core diagnosis, and the pathological examination of breast specimens. The color and b&w illustrations demonstrate not only the standard appearance of lesions but also emphasize the heterogeneity represented by variant forms. Annotation c.
