Description
Springer Benign Breast Diseases Radiology — Pathology — Risk Assessment 1st Editon 2012 Softbound by Catherine N. Chinyama
Widespread use of mammography has resulted in detection of small cancers with favorable prognosis, as well as an array of indeterminate lesions, the majority of which turn out to be histologically benign. This book gives a detailed account of the radiology and pathology of screening-detected lesions, with discussion of risk assessment, to assist clinicians in the follow-up of their patients. Related lesions are dealt with in consecutive chapters, giving the reader an opportunity for comparison. The book is well illustrated with radiological and pathological correlation of mostly screening-detected images including mucoecele-like lesions and columnar lesions. Surgeons, radiologists, pathologists and breast care nurses will find the book highly useful for the management of patients with benign or indeterminate breast lesions in a multidisciplinary setting. 1 Radiology of Benign Breast Disease.- 2 Surgery of Benign Breast Disease.- 3 Pathology of Benign Breast Disease.- 4 Fibre-epithelial Lesions.- 5 Infiltrative Pseudo-malignant Lesions.- 6 Hyperplastic Epithelial Lesions.- 7 Cystic Lesions.- 8 Mucocele-like Lesions.- 9 Columnar Cell Lesions.- 10 Calcification in Benign Lesions.- 11 Non-epithelial Lesions.- 12 Risk Assessment in Benign Breast Disease.
