The 11 chapters cover breast and axilla anatomy; assessment and investigation of common symptoms; benign breast disease; risk factors, screening, and prevention; pathology, prognosis, and staging; imaging; treatment (surgery, adjuvant therapy, and radiation); sentinel lymph node mapping; and hereditary breast cancer.
