About this title

Synopsis

Translation of: Brustkrebs and Brustrekonstruction . Begins with basic considerations relating to breast cancer, including epidemiology and risk factors, prognosis and pathology. Discusses the concepts behind conservation treatment with emphasis on breast tumor biology. Contributors present wide variations in the treatment of women with potentially curable breast cancers. Many different methods for reconstruction after mastectomy are discussed, and the pros and cons of immediate and delayed reconstructions are debated. Implant placement and tissue expansion are compared with the more complex techniques of latissimus and rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps. Reconstruction of the nipple/areolar complex is clearly and extensively described. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
