摘要

Number of pages: 589. Audience: Oncologic surgeons; cosmetic, reconstructive, and plastic surgeons; and residents and fellows in training. Relevance to contemporary cosmetic surgery: The writing style of this book is narrative. Multiple references are available at the end of each chapter. The index is detailed and extremely useful. Illustrations:This textbook is a cooperative venture between Dr Losken, who practices at the Emery University School of Medicine in Georgia, and Dr Hamdi, a professor at Gent University Hospital in Belgium. Other contributors include cosmetic, plastic, reconstructive, and oncologic surgeons from throughout the world. This book is the result of a recent interdiscipUnary international breast conference. The conference, attended by breast specialists from multiple disciplines around the world, provided, in an easy to read organized format, information and knowledge about oncoplastic surgery not previously categorized. The term oncoplastic surgery refers to a relatively new approach to breast cancer and other oncologic problems that coordinates oncologic and reconstructive techniques.
