Tibor Tot, MD PhD is Head of the Pathology and Clinical Cytology Department at the Central Hospital of Falun, in Sweden; breast cancer expert of the National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden; and regular Course Director of the breast pathology program, the official educational program for Swedish residents in clinical pathology, oncology, radiology and surgery.

• The theory of the sick lobe.- Lobar anatomy of human breast and its importance for breast cancer.- Breast cancer may originate in utero: The importance of the intrauterine environment for breast cancer development.- Genetic alterations in normal and malignant breast tissue .- The role of ductal lavage: a cautionary.- The distribution of the earliest forms of breast carcinoma.- The implications of the imaging manifestations of multifocal and diffuse breast cancers.- Lobar ultrasound of the breast .- The lobar distribution of the lesions in breast carcinoma: Ductoscopy and surgery.- Stop Breast Cancer Now! Imagining imaging pathways towards search, destroy, cure and watchful waiting of premetastasis breast cancer .- Epilogue: The diseased breast lobe in the context of x-chromosome inactivation and differentiation waves.

From the reviews: "This is a very reasonable objective as the etiology of breast cancer remains uncertain. The book meets this objective to a degree, as it brings forward much useful information regarding the concept of the 'sick lobe'. It would be of interest to anyone studying the biology of breast cancer. The book covers labor anatomy, embryology, molecular aspects of labor development and cancer formation. ... Overall, most chapters are interesting and likely will add to the fund of knowledge of even experienced breast cancer practitioners." (Frederick M. Dirbas, Doody's Review Service, October, 2012)
