Product Description
Current, cohesive, and comprehensive, this text enables the reader to consult with Dr. Rosen on virtually any pathologic concern. Most chapters discuss specific diseases or disease groupings, reviewing clinical presentation and mammography, epidemiology, gross pathology, microscopic pathology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Additional chapters discuss broader subjects, such as precancerous breast pathology, staging, prognostic markers, the pathological effects of therapy, and cytologic and needle core diagnosis. More than 2,000 illustrations -- 1,185 in full color -- demonstrate both the standard appearance of lesions and the heterogeneity represented by variant forms. Many entities are shown as they appear grossly, in whole mount histological sections, and, finally, at progressively higher magnifications. This true-to-life perspective is an essential part of accurate diagnosis, prognosis and management.

In 2000-01, I had 3 lumpectomies. All my mammograms were negative. The 3rd lump was excised when I was 62. I was a cytotechnologist for Unilab in Tarzana, CA. My medical director, Dr. Adele Hieshima, had a copy of Dr. Rosen's book on breast pathology. We went over it together. I was amazed at how many types of breast cancer there were. Cancer was revealed in my 3rd lumpectomy, but Kaiser could not identify it. They sent my tissue to a specialist in New York. I was surprised to receive the pathology report from Dr. Rosen himself, along with page numbers to consult in his book. His book clarified matters for me so I elected bi-lateral mastectomy. His book and his advice led to early detection and complete recovery. Thank you Dr. Rosen!
The definitive text March 14, 2007

This is IMHO the definitive of all breast pathology texts out there. Illustrations vary in quality, but the text is solid & clear. Second ed came out in 2001, so we may be due for another update before too long...we will have to wait to see if Dr. Rosen continues to write most of it or turns it over to someone else. There are plenty of controversial & evolving topics (ADH/DCIS & CCC), but this text does an admirable job of dealing with them despite the book's starting to show its age. The Tavassoli text is even older (2nd ed in 1999).
 Not a review of the 3rd edition, just a comment August 5, 2008

Although Rosen's breast pathology is an excellent textbook, you need reviews pertaining to the third edition. Every practicing pathologist knows the textbook. What we need to know is how the third edition measures up to the previous editions.
I have not yet seen the latest book so I cannot discuss the third edition.
