By far the majority of women presenting with a breast complaint will be diagnosed as having a benign rather than malignant condition. Despite this, clinical and research interest has always favoured breast cancer, and few publications have attempted to cover benign breast disorders as an independent entity focusing instead on benign breast disease in relation to breast cancer and none provide the complete and pragmatic coverage found in this text.Hughes, Mansel and Webster's Benign Disorders and Diseases of the Breast represents the distillation of over 35 years of clinical experience and research in the Cardiff Clinic and is unique in its depth of coverage of the entire spectrum of benign breast complaints. The third edition of this critically acclaimed book provides practical and detailed management guidelines. Relevant investigations are discussed and clear advice is given for the most effective treatment strategies in each condition, including dealing with treatment failures and recurring problems. The underlying pathology and physiology are also discussed from the clinician's viewpoint to help understand clinical presentations and response to treatment.
Written by experts in the subject area, the book covers a broad range of topics in the metastasis of breast cancer, from genetics, biology to clinical management. Main topics include genetic control, biology, growth factors, cell adhesion, cell motility and invasion, natures of bone metastasis, sentinel node therapies, hormonal links, new biomarkers and detection of micrometastasis and diagnosis. This timely book also covers the current treatment options.
The information surveyed in this volulme is designed to provide the clinician with an expert overview of the current state of the art in breast cancer management. It should provide at least a flavor of the major paradigm shift that is occurring in this rapidly evolving field. Breast cancer management is moving away from a "kill or cure" model and advancing toward a model focused on strategies of prevention and of long-term management of breast cancer as a chronic disease. The acceptance of this new paradigm by patients and clinicians alike will represent a major focus for the twenty-first century.
BENIGN DISORDERS AND DISEASES OF THE BREAST is the "gold standard" in benign breast disease. All chapters have been extensively updated and revised. Written by authorities from a world-renowned center on benign breast disease, the 2nd Edition includes comprehensive coverage of guidelines for the office physician, service implications and cost, breast feeding, disease in non-western populations, psychological aspects of benign breast disease, and medicological problems. To help readers understand clinical presentations and response to treatment, underlying pathology and physiology is discussed from the clinician's viewpoint. Also included are high-quality illustrations covering gross and microscopic appearance throughout, plus a specialist section on radiology.
