Synopsis

Dr. Carter's practical, authoritative, and superbly illustrated guide to breast biopsy interpretation is now in its Fourth Edition. Completely updated throughout, the book retains its focus on the clinical significance of common pathologic changes and the crucial pathologic distinctions that must be made when interpreting unusual or borderline lesions. This edition includes new information on classifications of breast disease, premalignant histopathologic changes, and risk factors for recurrence of disease after conservative radiation therapy. New chapters cover nipple lesions and axillary lymph nodes. A bound-in CD-ROM contains 500 full-color images and an Internet link to PubMed.

About this title

Review

American Journal of Surgical Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7 -- "A comprehensive but concise review of breast pathology. Morphologic emphasis is provided by the inclusion of a CD-ROM, which contains more than 600 color images, many of which are annotated within the text. Readers unaccustomed to viewing "e-figures" will no doubt appreciate its user-friendly format. This edition contains updated information and references on a broad spectrum of recent developments, including sentinel lymph node biopsy, biomarkers, and a number of newly described lesions. The tone of the chapters reflect the author's considerable experience with the evolution of advancements in breast pathology."-American Journal of Surgical Pathology
