Breast Core Biopsy: A Pathologic-Radiologic Approach


This state-of-the-art reference is your visual guide to the diagnosis of the full spectrum of breast lesions seen in
core biopsy specimens, including difficult and borderline pathology. Case-based presentations correlating radiologic
and pathologic findings, help pathologists, radiologists, and surgeons gain a better understanding of the entire
pathology process, thus greatly improving diagnostic accuracy and subsequent therapy.
