Overview

Breast cancer is a disease that develops in the breast cells and progresses in stages. A few early symptoms may include a new lump in the underarm or in the breast, itching or discharge from the nipple, and skin texture change of the nipple or breast. Approximately 1.3 million people per year worldwide are diagnosed with this condition. As with any cancer, early detection is a key to less traumatic treatment and ultimately complete recovery. Key Features: Detailed in-depth coverage of breast cancer in all critical aspects such as prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment Presents an overview of the relevant medical imaging modalities used for breast cancer Discusses the pros and cons of each imaging modality Book presents detailed breast cancer imaging clinical case studies
