This text is designed to present a practical and concise handbook
on the diagnosis and management of breast diseases for quick
reference by trainees and practitioners. It emphasizes the approach
to diagnosis and management of breast tumors written from the
perspectives of each member of the multidisciplinary management
team (pathologist, radiologist, medical oncologist, surgical
oncologist and radiation oncologist). The text is divided into two
sections. The first section is written by each subspecialty with
focus on the overview and management of breast tumors, current
controversies, position statement when necessary, and quality
assurance. The radiology overview addresses questions such as when
to perform breast imaging, the difference between screening and
diagnostic mammograms, when to perform Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) and ultrasound, the meaning of radiological descriptors, and
lastly the cost effectiveness and quality assurance of radiologic
assessment of breast tumors. The pathology overview addresses
approaches to evaluation of breast biopsies and excision for
calcifications, densities, distortion, asymmetry and masses,
pitfalls to histologic interpretations, the utility of
immunohistochemical stains, quality assurance and cost
effectiveness, and current controversies and position statements.
Surgical, medical and radiation oncology overviews address when to
treat and when to refrain, current treatment options or modalities
and the factors informing choice, utility of genomics or molecular
diagnostics in management, quality assurance, controversies and
position statements. The second section discusses common breast
tumors (focusing on radiologic-pathologic diagnosis and
correlation) using the practical approach highlighted in the first
section. The entities discussed include but are not limited to
fibroepithelial tumors, papillary lesions, spindle cell lesions,
in-situ and invasive carcinomas. The uniqueness of this book is the
focus on the integrated subspecialty approaches with perspectives
directly from subspecialty experts and emphasis on how each member
of the multidisciplinary team can contribute to the optimal care of
the breast cancer patient. The text aims to bridge the gap of the
"what next" question and foster a comprehensive, team approach for
trainees and practicing physicians by providing information about
specific entities from diagnosis to treatment. Generous
illustrations and tables in the text enhance appreciation of the
entities being discussed.
