Breast cancer 2

Meer over het boek

Internationally renowned breast cancer imagers Laszlo Tabar and Peter B. Dean, along with eminent breast pathologist Tibor Tot, share decades of clinical expertise in this volume focused on pleomorphic, crushed stone-like calcifications, the most common malignant calcifications. It offers a systematic approach to using mammographic features to differentiate various subtypes of breast diseases originating in the terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU). With over 800 high-quality images, the book serves as a state-of-the-art visual reference for interpreting mammograms in clinical practice. Key features include concise descriptions of mammographic and MRI findings correlated with histopathologic images for accurate diagnosis and prognostic classification. It extensively covers benign differential diagnoses of pleomorphic calcifications, including fibrocystic change, fibroadenoma, and papilloma. The terminology is discussed based on a thorough analysis of subgross anatomy, 3D histologic features, and long-term disease outcomes. Additionally, 3D viewing glasses are included for perceiving specially marked images in their true three-dimensional form. This volume is essential for breast imagers, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists specializing in breast diseases, and serves as an indispensable reference for radiologists aiming to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages.
