Practical Breast Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach: A Volume in the Pattern Recognition Series 1st Edition (2012) (PDF) by Kristen A. Atkins MD

Description

Apply a systematic pattern recognition method to achieve more accurate diagnoses with Practical Breast Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach. Using a practical, pattern-based organization, this volume in the Pattern Recognition series guides you efficiently and confidently through the evaluation of even the most challenging neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens in breast pathology, and also highlights patterns crucial to radiologic diagnosis.

Compare specimens to commonly seen patterns, categorize them accordingly, and turn directly to in-depth diagnostic guidance using the unique, pattern-based Visual Index at the beginning of the book.
Assess key pathologic and clinical aspects of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions with over 530 high-quality, full-color images that help you evaluate and interpret biopsy samples.
Apply the latest techniques and advances in the field, including optimal processing of breast specimens for early detection of breast cancer, the latest molecular diagnosis in breast pathology, and the use of radiology in optimizing detection of breast lesions.
Progress logically from the histological pattern, through the appropriate work-up, around the pitfalls, and to the best diagnosis.
Find the information you’re looking for quickly and easily with patterns color-coded to specific entities in the table of context and text and key points summarized in tables, charts, and graphs.
Review all the information essential for completing a sign-out report: clinical findings, pathologic findings, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
View key diagnostic features associated with less common conditions in a visual encyclopedia of unusual patterns at the end of the book.
Tackle the diagnostic challenges of breast pathology with the pattern recognition approach.

User’s Reviews

“Throughout the book are numerous, high-quality radiographic, gross, and pathologic images. Each image is carefully annotated to highlight the elements that are most diagnostically significant. In addition to covering the clinicopathologic features of breast lesions, the book includes chapters on basic breast radiology and the surgical approach to breast lesions. These chapters are an excellent addition and provide pathologists a thorough understanding of the clinical diagnosis and management of breast lesions. This book features the classic benefits of all Expert Consult titles, which include an online version of the print book with larger images and fully searchable text.”- Sapna Amin, MD (University of Kansas Medical Center) Doody

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:
⭐ Elsevier, in collaboration with Inkling, has crippled online access to this reference. Until February, 2014, Elsevier’s ExpertConsultBook online reference books have been fantastic – easy to navigate, intuitive to search across your titles, and efficient to use. Elsevier has shut that down and replaced it with Inkling’s clumsy e-book reader. Easy to read. Not easy to use as online reference to find answers to particular diagnostic problems.With ExpertConsult/Inkling you can no longer search across your purchased books at one go. You have to open and search within each book individually. Open your online book and you get three columns: a navigation column with list of chapters, a reading column, and a notes column (wasting valuable screen space). You have to click the search icon to get a text entry box. Search results then replace the index in the navigation column, 10 at a time, 4-5 visible on a typical computer screen. To review your search results you have to scroll down through the first 10, then click next, then scroll down through the next 10, then click next, ten at a time. The contexts of individual search results are obscure. It shows a little text where your search term appears, but not which chapter or section it is in. Figures (often lots of them) are included in your results list. Individual search results are headed with figure number (not caption, not chapter or section heading) or sub-section titles. Even in the reading pane you can’t see chapter and section titles, so you don’t know what part of the book you’re in. You are limited to linear access through the book – with links to previous and next sections at the top and bottom of the reading pane. To get to the next sub-section you have to scroll down to the bottom of the current sub-section. In order to navigate the index to different chapters or sections you have to exit your search results to get back the index pane. ⭐ I find this book very helpful for signing out breast cases. Currently I am a pathology resident, but I anticipate using this as a guide for working through the practical considerations of challenging differential diagnoses in breast pathology. There are very handy tables and guides that are easy to reference.
