The Pathobiology of Breast Cancer

This monograph, written by well renowned breast cancer expect, Dr. Jose Russo, provides new insight on the pathobiology of breast cancer from the most current advances in the field, translational research, initiation and progression of the disease, the mechanism of invasion and metastasis and the concept of stem cells in treatment and drug resistance. The role of personalized medicine and genomic testing are also explored, which will provide a window to the future progress of cancer care.

Discusses the pathobiology of all invasive breast cancer types Explores the role of metastasis, stem cells, and drug resistance Written by well-renowned expert in the field of breast cancer Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
