Opis

In "Breast Cancer: The Art and Science of Early Detection with
Mammography-Perception, Interpretation, Histopathologic Correlation," Laszlo
Tabar, one of the world's most renowned mammographers, has shared his decades of
experience in presenting the fundamentals of perception and interpretation of
mammographic images. This is the second volume in a series of books written by
the team of Tabar, Tot, and Dean describing breast cancer in its earliest phase
according to the imaging findings and correlating these findings with
sophisticated histopathologic images and patient outcome. This volume covers a
particularly troublesome subtype of breast cancer characterized by casting type
calcifications.
Highlights:

• Extensive coverage of the morphology and outcome of this deceptive breast
  cancer subtype


• Nearly 1000 illustrations of stunning quality showing the full range of
  manifestations


• Photomicrographs of large, thin-section pathology slides and unique 3D
  pathology images which are carefully correlated with mammographic images to
  explain why mammograms appear as they do


• Stereoscopic images that demonstrate normal breast structures and the
  distortion caused by this unique malignant process


• Presentation of an original theory of neoductgenesis to explain the
  surprising disease outcome all too frequently observed


• Scientific rationale for using individualized treatment methods which
  include the mammographic prognostic features
