This book provides an up-to-date review of the risk factors and genetics influencing the development of this rare disease. This volume presents clinical features and recent advances in histopathology and molecular profiling are analyzed, providing a valuable aid to clinicians in tailoring treatment to both the patient and the tumour. Readers will find important insights into the most effective strategies for making or negating a diagnosis of MBC. Within this timely volume, consideration is also given to the psychological needs of men with breast cancer alongside a discussion of the most effective support methods. The surgical management of the disease is examined, together with algorithms for local and systemic therapy. Owing to the problem of late diagnosis in MBC, many men have advanced or disseminated disease at diagnosis and, as such, the evidence-based management of these cases is reviewed. Male Breast Cancer concludes with a discussion on determining prognosis and the likely future developments in MBC with a focus on improved diagnosis and survival. Male Breast Cancer will be of interest to breast surgeons, oncologists, breast radiologists, breast histopathologists and breast care nurses worldwide.
A revised edition of this text on the detection and treatment of breast cancer. It now includes new sections on the timing of surgery, breast conservation, breast reconstruction and prevention.
The most effective method of detection of breast cancer is physical examination, and there is increasing pressure on the primary care team to know what to look for, how to recognise common abnormalities, and when to refer for further investigation. This handy atlas provides a unique collection of full colour photographs and mammograms to assist GPs and nurses in making successful and early diagnoses.
This work examines a new approach to breast cancer that focuses on prevention rather than traditional methods of early diagnosis and treatment for existing disease. It takes an in-depth look at the background of tamoxifen, the main preventive agent currently being tested.
Breast cancer is one of the major causes of premature death in women. Early detection may reduce the chances of progression to the fatal stages and may require only conservative management, overriding the psychologically damaging total masectomy.

The 1908 Olympic Games were controversial. There was almost constant bickering among the American team and the British officials. Because of the controversies, the 1908 Olympics have been termed "The Battle of Shepherd's Bush," referring to the site of the Olympic Stadium. Reports of the 1908 Olympics have been rare and do not for instance contain full results for archery, track and field athletics, football (soccer), gymnastics, motorboating and shooting. A great deal of new information has been discovered by the authors, and this work gives complete results for all events. The information presented is based primarily on 1908 sources. For the first time, definitive word on the sites, dates, events, competitors, and nations as well as the event results are available for all of the 1908 Olympic events, including boxing, cycling, diving, fencing, field hockey, lacrosse, polo, raquets, swimming, lawn tennis, tug-of-war, weightlifting, wrestling and yachting, among other sports. A series of appendices include rarely seen information about the many controversies surrounding the Games.
