Summary:

Dr. Carter's practical, authoritative, and superbly illustrated guide to breast biopsy interpretation is now in its Fourth Edition. Completely updated throughout, the book retains its focus on the clinical significance of common pathologic changes and the crucial pathologic distinctions that must be made when interpreting unusual or borderline lesions. This edition includes new information on classifications of breast disease, premalignant histopathologic changes, and risk factors for recurrence of disease after conservative radiation therapy. New chapters cover nipple lesions and axillary lymph nodes. "A bound-in CD-ROM contains 500 full-color images" and an Internet link to PubMed.
