Early Breast Cancer From Screening to Multidisciplinary Management, Third Edition Edited by

John R Benson, Gerald P.H. Gui and Todd Tuttle Breast cancers are now detected earlier and are thus more likely to be confined to the breast itself and regional nodes. Many of these tumours will have minimal proclivity for hematogenous dissemination and formation of micrometastases. On the other hand, some patients have micrometastatic diseases which can remain dormant and be activated many years after initial diagnosis.

Early Breast Cancer: From Screening to Multidisciplinary Management discusses the principles and practice of breast cancer management with respect to both screen-detected and symptomatic disease. It provides readers with sound understanding and critical insight into many aspects of the disease from epidemiology, genetics, and screening to pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. This latest edition continues the general ethos of the second edition with an emphasis on early screening and continued development of the multidisciplinary team.

Features: • Draws on the expertise of leading specialists from three continents • Explores the role of the “modern” breast care nurse • Covers shared decision-making and informed consent • Highlights issues applicable to the current litigious and regulated working environment as well as the web-wise patient • Examines aspects of care impacted by the recent economic downturn

Child Abuse and its Mimics in Skin and Bone B. G. Brogdon, Tor Shwayder, and Jamie Elifritz Of all children reported to child protective services for suspected maltreatment, the percentage of substantiated cases of actual physical abuse is quite small. There are a number of musculoskeletal lesions that can be mistaken for intentional physical abuse by the untrained observer. This volume illustrates the classic manifestations of physical abuse by dermatological and radiological examination as a standard against which the mimickers of physical abuse can be compared. With hundreds of photos, this volume enables those confronted with these cases to avoid a rush to judgment that could wreak havoc in a family and quite possibly delay needed treatment for an actual medical condition.
