Features: This book covers the cytogenetics, molecular biology, expression of oncogenes, and intracellular signal transduction of breast cancer. It elaborates on the occurrence, development, and metastasis of breast cancer from a biological analysis level, discussing its biological characteristics, the role of hormones and hormone receptors. The content primarily includes the cytogenetics, molecular biology, expression of oncogenes, and intracellular signal transduction of breast cancer. It explains the occurrence, development, and metastasis of breast cancer from a molecular biology level, elaborates on its biological characteristics, the role of hormones and hormone receptors, and clarifies the pathogenesis, clinical outcomes, and prognosis of breast cancer. In terms of clinical strategies, it discusses pathological features of breast cancer, the selection and comparison of pathological diagnosis methods, advancements in imaging diagnosis, clinical staging, serum markers, and changes in the skin, axilla, and the whole body caused by breast cancer. It also compares various surgical treatment methods, different approaches suitable for different patients, and specifically includes an introduction to breast reconstruction methods to ensure patients' quality of life and feminine image. Additionally, it introduces internal medicine treatments (chemotherapy and endocrine therapy), radiotherapy, and biological treatments such as gene therapy, antisense oligonucleotides, and monoclonal antibodies blocking breast cancer cell signal transduction pathways, while proposing new ideas like molecular radiotherapy and molecular chemotherapy. The book also provides specialized discussions on the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of various special types of breast cancer, as well as necessary explanations of other breast tumors. In summary, the content of this book fulfills the author's intended purpose: comprehensive, innovative, and practical.
