O'Malley (laboratory medicine and pathobiology, U. of Toronto, Canada) et al. assemble a group of breast pathologists, breast imaging specialists, and oncologists from North America, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia for 28 chapters meant for pathologists in training and practice. They detail the evaluation of fine needle aspirates, core biopsies, wire localization biopsies, and resection specimens, and discuss the normal breast, inflammatory conditions, sclerosing and papillary lesions, fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumors, stromal lesions, diseases of the nipple, fibrocystic changes, ductal and lobular proliferations, and familial breast cancer. This edition has new chapters on the histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular genetic aspects of breast diseases, and new sections on handling specimens postneoadjuvant therapy, multigene prognostic assays, sentinel lymph nodes, and external quality assurance. A searchable text, downloadable image bank, illustrations, boxes, tables, and all references are available online. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
