Request a sales quoteDiagnostic Pathology: Breast 4e delivers an updated, comprehensive diagnostic support tool for anatomic and surgical pathologists who daily are reviewing breast pathology and providing reports to assist in clinical diagnoses and therapeutic decision-making. The chapters in the book provide details on normal breast pathology, details to assist in processing breast specimens, and multiple sections of content on diagnostic patterns, disorders of development, inflammatory lesions, other types of malignancies, and hereditary breast disease. Coverage is also included on unusual presentations of breast lesions. The templated chapters provide a consistent presentation of information that is easily accessed. Over 2,000 images (plus another 800 images in the eBook) are included along with a wealth of unique medical illustrations that illuminate difficult areas of diagnosis. For the 4th edition, updates across several areas are needed, and new overview chapters are added to guide pathologists with differential diagnosis content that assists with identification and diagnosis. Updated details about PD-L1 immunotherapy and HER2 immunotherapy are in place in additional new chapters, along with chapters on the molecular types of breast carcinomas, which together deliver comprehensive details to assist pathologists with identification, diagnosis, and management of disease.
- Incorporates the most up-to-date scientific and technical knowledge, providing a comprehensive overview of all key issues relevant to today’s practice
- Emphasizes the correlation of pathologic lesions with findings on breast imaging and provides guidance on the interpretation of core needle biopsies
- Contains new overview chapters that lay the groundwork for initial evaluation and assistance with differential diagnosis, as well as new chapters on HER2-low breast carcinoma, immunohistochemical studies for diagnosis, proliferation, and more
- Provides important updates throughout, covering the evaluation of ESR1, PIK3CA, AKT, and BRCA1 mutations to guide therapy; tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and PD-L1 for treatment planning; HER2-low assessment to determine eligibility for antibody-drug conjugates; and much more
- Features new animations and new videos to assist in understanding three-dimensional anatomy, radiologic-pathologic correlation, the processing of breast specimens, and the gross identification of breast lesions
- Contains more than 3,700 extensively annotated images, including gross pathology photographs, histopathology photomicrographs, a wide range of immunohistochemical stains, fluorescent in situ hybridization, breast-imaging studies, and full-color illustrations
- Employs consistently templated chapters, bulleted content, key facts, annotated images, and an extensive index for quick, expert reference at the point of care
- Includes an eBook version that enables you to access all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
