This comprehensive resource focuses on the application of conventional and novel treatment strategies to the care of patients with nonmalignant breast disease and all stages of breast cancer.

Organization and Scope

The handbook is organized chronologically, from screening, through diagnosis and management, to survivorship care and related medical issues. It provides evidence-based treatment strategies for all patient subsets, including how to manage patients with high-risk breast lesions, invasive breast carcinoma at each stage, and with all known molecular subtypes of breast cancer.

Surgical, radiation, and medical treatment options are all discussed for each stage of breast cancer, including treatment approaches in pregnancy and for high-risk lesions and phyllodes. This handbook is a comprehensive yet concise resource for residents, fellows, and early-career practitioners. Community oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists, primary care practitioners, and OBGYNs will also find its concise review of new research and procedures to be very useful in this dynamic field of medicine.
