There can never be enough material in the public domain about cancers, and particularly breast cancer.

This book adds much to the literature. It provides general information on breast cancer management and considers all new methods of diagnosis and therapy.

It focuses on nuclear medicine modalities by comparing their results with other diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

The coverage provides readers with up-to-date knowledge on breast cancer as well as information on the advances in the field of diagnosis.

It also details data on the development of some new modalities and provides a general overview of the available tools for breast cancer treatment.

In sum, it is a hugely useful text that performs a dual function. Not only does it provide practitioners of all descriptions with a vital overview of the current state of play in breast cancer treatment, but it also lays out in a beautifully structured way the latest diagnostic methodologies.
