Early Breast Cancer discusses the principles and practice of breast cancer management within the context of multidisciplinary team working and places emphasis on pragmatism. The text provides a comprehensive and contemporary account of the subject and should permit the reader to develop a firm understanding of the disease from epidemiology, genetics and screening, to pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. This in turn will enable healthcare personnel to deliver a high quality and up-to-date service to breast cancer sufferers. Early Breast Cancer should be of value not only to established practitioners but also to trainees working in the sub-speciality of breast diseases. It will also be of assistance to some clinical scientists researching at the laboratory-clinical interface and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and support of patients with breast cancer.
