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

    correlated with large-format 2D and 3D histologic slides
  • New
    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
  • Introduction of the molecular
    classification of invasive breast cancer
  • Discussion of prognostic and
    predictive factors in breast carcinoma, such as hormone receptors and HER2
    status
  • Updates on preoperative diagnosis, including intact biopsy and
    radiologic assessment of the extent and distribution of
    lesions

Enriched with new information and stunning illustrations in every
chapter, Practical Breast Pathology, Second Edition is a key link in the
exchange between pathologists, radiologists, oncologists and breast surgeons, as
well as residents and trainees. It provides an essential framework for
understanding the mammographic-pathologic correlation, leading to increased
cooperation among clinical team members and significantly improved outcomes for
patients.
