From the reviews:

"The book covers a range of topics from the genetic and genetic factors in breast cancer to the current and future directions in breast translational research. ... I have found this to be a very well illustrated text, easy to read and very informative. I would definitely recommend this book as a good read to both surgeons and oncologists."
