Inflammatory Breast Cancer

Bol

This book aims to bring together clinical information on the biology, diagnosis, therapy and management of patients with inflammatory breast cancer. Authored by experts from the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia in Mexico, this book will provide the reader with the state-of-the art treatment of this rare but pernicious disease. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that occurs in women of all ages, and, rarely, in men. Variable disease presentation means that this disease is often undetected and patients with this diagnosis have a poor prognosis. Inflammatory Breast Cancer brings together the existing clinical information on inflammatory breast cancer. The content covers epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, histopathology and staging, therapy and management of patients with this disease. Recent advances in therapy have improved the prognosis of this type of cancer considerably, making this text a timely addition to the literature. This book is an essential tool for medical, surgical and clinical oncologists specialising in breast cancer, who will inevitably encounter this rare but pernicious disease.
