Surgical treatment of breast cancer

tors from the Masaryk Cancer Institute provide in this publication a basic, but at the same time from a practical point of view quite sufficient and comprehensive overview of the modern approach to surgical treatment of the most common malignant tumour in the female population - breast cancer. In addition to surgical aspects, the basic knowledge of epidemiology, prevention and diagnosis is mentioned, an overview of non-surgical treatment modalities is given and some controversial topics are highlighted. The full-colour publication is richly documented with pictures.
