Each volume in the "Early Detection and Treatment of Cancer Series" is packed with practical, authoritative information designed to cover the full range of diagnostic procedures, including pathologic, radiologic, bronchoscopic, and surgical aspects. You'll be able to determine the safest, shortest, least invasive way to reach an accurate diagnosis; stage the disease; and, choose the best initial treatment for early stages. Based on current evidence in the literature, authors provide clinical, hands-on tools to help you make informed decisions on precisely what tests and imaging studies are needed to diagnose and stage each type of cancer. Practical, authoritative, and highly-illustrated, this volume in the brand new "Early Detection and Treatment of Cancer" series covers current protocols and the latest advances in diagnostic imaging and molecular and serologic markers for breast cancer. Apply expert advice on the best 'next-step' plan for different presentations and tips for less invasive protocols. Get clinical, hands-on tools to help you make informed decisions on precisely what tests and imaging studies are needed for accurate diagnosis and staging. Clear figures, tables, and boxes illustrate step-by-step care of the full range of problems encountered. Better manage your patients with procedural video clips and more on the included CD-ROM. The small size and convenient format make this an ideal purchase for diagnostic reference. "Part of a 5-volume series (also sold as a set), this volume follows the same format as the others, providing clear, practical guidelines in a well-organized, heavily illustrated format and supplementing the text with a wealth of online features. Chapters are included on types of breast cancer, its prevention, diagnosis, and treatments; with individual chapters on topics that include screening of high-risk patients, radiation oncology, reconstructive surgery, cost-effective staging, adjuvant systemic therapy, and surveillance and detection of recurrence. Jacobs (surgery, Johns Hopkins U. School of Medicine, Baltimore) and Finlayson (surgery, U. of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora) have edited the 24 chapters, written by 43 specialists, of whom 41 are in the US, and two are in Taiwan and Germany." -Book News, Inc.

Minimally Invasive Breast Procedures Springer Verlag

Zdrowie, medycyna

Modern imaging methods have made it possible to detect breast cancer at an earlier stage than in the past. Nevertheless, when screening is performed regularly over a 10-year period, 20% of examined women will present a suspicious finding that subsequently proves to be benign. Accordingly, beyond cancer detection an important goal is the identification of benign lesions in a manner that is reliable, tissue sparing, patient friendly, and cost-effective. More than 70% of breast biopsies can now be performed using minimally invasive procedures that meet these criteria. Against this background, it can be concluded that a mammography screening programme without the possibility of minimally invasive biopsies is neither ethically nor economically justifiable. This book examines in detail the diverse minimally invasive diagnostic techniques that may be employed when imaging yields suspicious findings. These include vacuum-assisted minimally invasive breast biopsy systems (ATEC, EnCor, Intact, Mammotome and Vacora), stereotactic systems, MRI-guided procedures, and ductoscopy. Further chapters are devoted to the pathology of the breast tissue obtained using these procedures, their limitations, the implications of recent advances in breast imaging, and the results of cost-benefit analyses. The closing chapter provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent data.

Pocket Guide to Bishosphonates in Clinical Practice Preventi Blackwell Science

Medycyna > English Division

The potential capacity of the biphosphonates to intervene in osseous remodeling was recognized more than 30 years ago. The biphosphonates inhibit osteoclastic activity. In spite of advances in early detection, surgey, chemo-and radiotherapy, metastatic bone disease is still a major and in many cases intractable clinical problem. The biphosphonates are now the most effective agents in the management of bone metastases - as shown by trials in patients with breast and prostate cancer, and in multiple myeloma. Bone pain, new ostelytic events and pathologic fractures are decreased and complications associated with these events are avoided. Existing osteolytic lesions may even be reversed. New fields of indications of biphosphonates are shown to be in the adjuvant therapy of breast cancer and in stage 1 multiple myeloma to prevent skeletal destruction and also to inhibit tumor growth. Over the past few years the biphosphonates have proved their value also in many other conditions such as Paget's disease of bone, osseous disorders with an osteoclastic component leading to osteopenia/osteoporosis, in congenial, endocrine and metabolic disorders. Perhaps, for the future and for the next millennium the most widespread and extensive use to these anti-osteoclastic component leading to osteopenia/osteoporosis, in congenial, endocrine and metabolic disorders. Perhaps, for the future and for the next millennium the most widespread and extensive use to these anti-osteoclastic agents will be in these disorders, and particularly in so-called primary osteoporosis which evenually effects anyone who lives long enough, causing widespread morbidity with drastic economic consequences both individually and nationally. The authors' aim is to provide an office and desk companion - comprehensive, concise, practical for easy reference - an up-to-date guide for prevention and therapy of skeletal complications whenever and wherever they occur in general and specialized medical practice.

Atlas of Lymphoscintigraphy and Sentinel Node Mapping Springer Nature Switzerland AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The main goal of the second edition of this book is to update the content on the rapidly growing field of lymphoscintigraphy, a radionuclide-based imaging procedure that provides information on the functional status of the lymphatic system. Although the technique was originally introduced to identify the cause of peripheral edema (i.e., blockage of the venous or lymphatic circulation), more recent and widespread applications include radioguided biopsy of the sentinel lymph node in patients with solid cancers. This procedure is crucial for the adequate planning of oncologic surgery in a growing number of cancers, most notably breast cancer, cutaneous melanoma, head and neck cancers, penile cancer, and cervical cancer. The book focuses on the latest advances in lymphoscintigraphy techniques, including both novel tracers recently approved for clinical use (especially in the field of sentinel lymph node mapping) and the expanding role of hybrid imaging with SPECT/CT - and in sentinel node detection using hybrid tracers (radiolabeled and fluorescent) for dual-signature guidance. Each chapter addresses the clinical application of lymphoscintigraphy in different anatomic areas or disease conditions. After an introductory section concerning the pathophysiology of the specific site/disease, the clinical relevance and impact of lymphoscintigraphy is demonstrated by a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases describing the lymphoscintigraphic patterns most commonly observed, as well as anatomic variants and technical pitfalls. Emphasis is placed on tomographic multimodality imaging. The book gathers contributions by experts in nuclear oncology, who have revised their chapters by updating the didactic material and adding clinical cases. Regarding sentinel lymph node biopsy in particular, a major distinction of this text is the incorporation of the staging guidelines of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (8th edition) into the didactic material.
