From the reviews: "This book presents the latest updates on inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), covering its clinical presentation, epidemiology, pathology, basic science, and clinical trials. ... designed for those who manage patients with breast cancer, such as oncologists, nurse practitioners, and medical oncology fellows. Scientists interested in the field of IBC also would find this book useful. ... I would highly recommend this book to anyone involved in the management of patients with inflammatory breast cancer. It is the most comprehensive summary of the disease published to date." (Sara E. Barnato, Doody's Review Service, July, 2012)
