'The multidisciplinary approach which is emphasised throughout the book should be seen as a model for other medical and surgical disciplines to follow.' - Journal of the Royal College of Physicians (of the 1st edition)
'Women aware of breast cancer issues and who participate in early detection programs should be rewarded with gentle and appropriate care and not punished with heavy and often unjustified treatments.' - Umberto Veronesi, Institute of Oncology, Italy (of the 1st edition)
Early Breast Cancer presents a wide-ranging analysis of diagnosis, pathology and multidisciplinary management of the patient presenting with early breast cancer for radiologists, pathologists, surgeons and medical oncologists. The second edition is fully updated to include changes in perspective on such issues as screening and conservative surgery.
