This book offers a systematic method for identifying breast cancer subtypes through mammographic features, featuring over 800 images and detailed descriptions to aid in accurate diagnosis and classification. Ideal for medical professionals.
Breast Cancer: Early Detection with Mammography offers a comprehensive approach to utilizing mammographic features for differentiating breast cancer subtypes that arise within the terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU). Authored by esteemed experts in the field—Laszlo Tabar, Peter B. Dean, and renowned breast pathologist Tibor Tot—the book draws upon decades of clinical experience to focus on the most common malignant calcification type: pleomorphic, crushed stone-like calcifications. With over 800 high-quality images, it serves as an invaluable visual reference for interpreting mammograms in clinical practice.
The text is structured to provide concise descriptions of mammographic and MRI findings, which are correlated with detailed histopathologic images. This systematic approach aids in accurate diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and prognostic classification. The book also thoroughly addresses benign conditions that may mimic pleomorphic calcifications, such as fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and papillomas, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the diagnostic landscape.
Additionally, the authors offer a clear discussion of terminology, grounded in an analysis of subgross anatomy, 3D histologic features, and long-term disease outcomes. To enhance the learning experience, the book includes 3D viewing glasses for observing specially marked images in their true three-dimensional form. This resource is essential for breast imagers, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists, equipping them with the knowledge needed to leverage mammography for the early detection of breast cancer.
