This first multi-authored work exclusively dedicated to breast lesions in core needle biopsy samples, A Comprehensive Guide to Core Needle Biopsies of the Breast is an all-inclusive textbook that provides an overview of the fundamentals of a breast core needle biopsy program, instructive topics on diagnostic approaches to breast core biopsies including a pattern-based strategy, and in-depth coverage of all entities commonly seen in the core biopsy setting. In addition, chapters detailing special scenarios or topics including the role of molecular profiling in small breast samples and personalized medicine; metastasis to the breast and dermatologic mimickers of breast lesions arising in the breast skin, subcutis or axilla complete the impressive scope of this authoritative book. The book features over 900 high-quality images, charts, and diagrams. Written by leaders in the field and edited by expert breast pathologist, Dr. Sandra J. Shin, A Comprehensive Guide to Core Needle Biopsies of the Breast is the definitive reference on breast core needle biopsies for practicing pathologists, pathology trainees, and clinicians of patients with breast disease. .
