  information, case examples and superb illustrations that make it an ideal
  clinical problem solver.

    findings on such clinically important topics as the lobar nature of breast
    carcinoma, multifocality, diffuse carcinomas and extent of disease, concept
    of the sick lobe and more

  • Discussion of prognostic and
    predictive factors in breast carcinoma, such as hormone receptors and HER2

  chapter, Practical Breast Pathology, Second Edition is a key link in the

  cooperation among clinical team members and significantly improved outcomes for
  patients.
